A handyman accused of impeding an investigation into the dismemberment of a retired grandmother denied to gardaí that he assisted her alleged murderer in the aftermath. “Ah come on he is not a two-year-old,” Mr Johnston told gardaí. Gardaí asked Mr Johnston if this was the day before Mrs O’Connor’s body was cut up. Mr Johnston said Mr Greene had given him a lift on June 9th and Mr Greene had bought two axes in Woodies for the fire as they were going cheap. “Did you have to go down to help Mr Greene?” asked gardaí.
