Vesel Jahiri’s murder trial jury was sent home by the Central Criminal Court, reported on 3 July 2014, and was due to resume deliberations the following day. Jahiri denies murdering Anna Finnegan at Allendale Glen, Clonsilla, Dublin, on 21 September 2012, and also denies assault causing harm to her brother, Karl. The trial heard that Finnegan and Jahiri had been in a ten-year relationship involving a dispute over access to their two children. The prosecution said physical evidence supported a murder conviction, while the defence argued the medical evidence left open the possibility that Finnegan was stabbed during a fight.
