If it's somebody younger, of course, they will issue the amber alerts or whatever.

But when it's an adult person, they usually investigate a little bit or certainly wait a little while.

And so he's referring to the case that Justice Flann O'Brien at the time said he was satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that McArdle had approached that female photographer, had forcibly taken the camera and in doing so had assaulted her and imposed a three month sentence and suspended it on condition that he pay 500 euro in damages.

He went on a holiday with his wife, Kellyanne Corcoran, and their young child.

at the Costa del Sol.

And she fell from a balcony and two days later died of her injuries.

Yes.

An investigation began.

A man in a neighbouring room would later tell a court that he saw...

he saw McArdle hold somebody above his head, a woman, and that he said to him to put her down.

He gave evidence in the court, this man, a guy called Roy Haynes, an Englishman who was staying in the room next door.

And he said he went inside and shut the door and soon after he heard cries for help.

He said there was nothing we could do.

She was down.

So the court also heard when it eventually came to court that the infant child, he was two or three, had on his return to Ireland told a relative that his dad had pushed his mum.

And it was her brother-in-law, Kelly-Ann's brother-in-law, Peter Moran, gave evidence that the three-year-old child, Mark, told him on his return to Dundalk, daddy bowled, daddy pushed mammy.

Now,

McArdle was actually extradited back to Spain, but it was in 2008 that he was convicted of the manslaughter of his wife.

And it was a complex enough case surrounding the incident at the five-star Milia Don Pepe Hotel, right?

Now, there was a jury of nine on the case.
