‘She said she met someone on the internet who liked to cut her’
‘Graham’s number’ was in calendar on Elaine’s laptop
AN entry on Elaine O’Hara’s laptop calendar read ‘Graham’s phone number’ and gave a number, the murder trial heard.
Detective Garda Eimear Nevin said she had discovered the entry during a forensic search of the Apple laptop.
The court was shown a screenshot she had taken of the calendar, as Ms O’Hara would have seen it.
It showed the date, June 30, 2011, highlighted in yellow, and a pop-up box which read ‘Graham’s phone number 083 1103474’.
Mobile phone had been bought using the name ‘Goroon Caisholm’
A MOBILE phone was bought from a store in Grafton Street, Dublin, under the name of ‘Goroon Caisholm’, the Central Criminal Court heard.
Evidence was given of the name and address given for the phone, which the jury was told did not have to be backed up by formal identification.
And then Gordon Chisholm, who is an architect and friend of the defendant Graham Dwyer, told the court that he had never bought a phone from the shop.
Dwyer drove Porsche and four-wheel drives
THE jury in Graham Dwyer’s trial heard that he drove a number of different cars over the years. Work colleague David Lanigan, who had worked with him since he started in 2001, was asked if he was familiar with Mr Dwyer’s ‘interest in cars’.
He replied: ‘Mr Dwyer had a number of different cars over the years and they would have changed over the years. Some of them Porsche cars, some were four-wheel drive cars.’
She was told to go to gardaí on ‘harassment’
ON the night before she was released from a psychiatric hospital, Elaine told Rosetta Callan that she had met a man on the internet who was interested in bondage. Ms Callan, who had worked as a nurse at St Edmundsbury Hospital in Dublin for 44 years, said Elaine lived in Stepaside and that the man lived nearby.
Ms Callan told the court: ‘She said he had a key to the apartment. I said, “Why don’t you go to the gardaí if he is harassing you?” But she said, No, because he had young children.
‘She loved kids so she wouldn’t like to harm him by going to the gardaí.’
She showed her stomach cuts
EDNA Lillis told the Central Criminal Court that she became friends with Elaine O’Hara while she was a patient at St Edmundsbury in 2007.
The last time she met her was around the end of 2011, when Elaine showed her cuts running across her stomach, which were three or four inches long.
Ms Lillis told the jury: ‘They wouldn’t have been deep, but they were obvious.
‘She told me she met someone on the internet who liked to cut her.
‘I told Elaine she was playing a dangerous game and pay attention.’
