Image: Sam Boal/RollingNews.ie MURDER ACCUSED PAT Quirke told one of his farm hands he heard a rumour that Polish people were involved in the murder of DJ Bobby ‘Mr Moonlight’ Ryan, the Central Criminal Court has heard.
The witness couldn’t recall what his response was but said that Quirke then told him he had heard a rumour it was a “Polish group”. Under cross examination the witness told defence counsel Bernard Condon there was a rumour going around that Polish people were involved in the murder of Bobby Ryan. His body was found in an underground run-off tank on the farm owned by Lowry and leased by the accused at Fawnagown, Tipperary 22 months later in April 2013. The prosecution claims that Quirke murdered Ryan so he could rekindle an affair with Lowry .
This witness knew of the tank where Ryan’s body was found because he would be doing jobs around that area. He thought it was an old septic tank and said there was a ditch beside it that cattle would shelter in during bad weather. Cattle would walk on top of the tank but they had no effect on the concrete slabs covering it, he said. Kenny said he never fenced off the tank.
