A defence witness told the Kieran Keane murder trial today that he gave a lift to one of the accused on the night of the murder.

Mr Barry Fitzgerald, with an address in Britain, told the Central Criminal Court he gave a lift to the accused, Mr Anthony "Noddy" McCarthy.

He picked him up at a garage near Fairgreen in Limerick in a white van. The jury has seen video footage of the garage's CCTV which shows a white van pulling up and a man getting into it at about 8.50 p.m. on the night of the murder.
