Garda Dara Kelly on Wednesday said he compiled CCTV footage taken from three houses on Drumcairn Avenue and a Ring doorbell attached to Mr Murphy’s house. On arrival at Mr Murphy’s house, Ronan entered the driveway, activating lights in Mr Murphy’s van, the witness said. Garda Cullen agreed with Mr Kennedy that Mr Murphy was polite and courteous at all times. When Det Insp Houlihan knocked on the front door, Mr Murphy’s partner answered and said Mr Murphy was in bed. Det Insp Houlihan noted Mr Murphy appeared nervous and did not seem like someone who had just woken up.
