Sliabh Liag murder accused admits lying about deceased sexually assaulting co-accused

A pensioner died in the Sliabh Liag area of County Donegal, and two people are suspects, one of them the murder accused. The murder accused says the co-accused struck the pensioner with a rock, and the case is reported as the Sliabh Liag trial. Reports published on 11 February 2025 say the murder accused admitted lying that the deceased had sexually assaulted a co-accused. The sources do not give the incident date, arrests, charges beyond murder, or any sentence, so the latest reported development is that admission.
