The jury at the trial of Richard Satchwell has seen an interview in which he said his wife will eventually turn up and prove he did nothing wrong.
The 57-year-old of Grattan Street, Youghal, County Cork has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Tina Satchwell at the same address in March 2017.
The jury were shown 3 media interviews yesterday and five so far today, from 2017 and 2018.
In an interview with Paul Byrne from TV3 in July, Mr Satchwell says he would take a lie detector test and he didn’t know why people are so malicious.
An RTE Primetime documentary feature was played in which Mr Satchwell said his wife ‘obviously felt she needed a break to get her head straight’.
In an Ireland AM interview Richard Satchwell said he does not feel he is a suspect and that someone had to have helped Tina to get away.
The trial continues.
