Richard Satchwell: Murder trial has reached its fourth week - what have we learned so far?

The trial of Richard Satchwell, who has pleaded not guilty to murdering his wife Tina at their home in Youghal, Co Cork in March 2017, has now entered its fourth week.

The first three weeks of this high-profile trial featured testimony from gardaí, crime scene managers, the family doctor, a forensic archaeologist and friends regarding the disappearance of Tina Satchwell in 2017 and the discovery of her body six years later.

On Tuesday, the Central Criminal Court heard a cause of death for Tina Satchwell, whose skeletal remains were found buried under her Co Cork home in 2023, could not be determined due to the level of decomposition.

After more than three weeks of testimonies, what else have we learned from the Richard Satchwell murder trial about the death of his wife in 2017?

Today, on In The News, courts reporter with Ireland International news agency Alison O’Riordan discusses the Satchwell trial.
