Insanity to be issue in case of Italian accused of murdering Tom O'Gorman, court told
Summary
Lawyers for Saverio Bellante, a 35‑year‑old Italian accused of murdering journalist Tom O'Gorman on 11 or 12 January last year at their shared house in Castleknock, have told the Central Criminal Court that insanity will be an issue in the case. The defence, represented by Seán Guerin SC, said the trial would be short. Mr Justice Paul Carney granted a request for an earlier trial date and allowed the transfer of Bellante's legal aid to another firm of solicitors.
