Footage played in court showed Mr Mackey, who was frail and walked with the aid of a stick, soon after leaving his home near Kayani Avenue at about 4.34pm. Prosecutors said the footage showed Mr Augustine, who was not known to the victim, happening upon the scene at about this time. CCTV, the prosecutors said, showed Mr Augustine hanging around outside leaning on railings and “seeming” to be on the phone. Footage showed the accused walking close behind the elderly Irishman as he made his way home. CCTV then showed Mr Augustine retracing his steps back out of the walkway one minute and 48 seconds later.
