A witness in the trial of a woman accused of murdering a man in Co Donegal has told the jury that she told him she “battered” him with a rock, and that she liked it.
Nikita Burns, of Carrick, Co Donegal is on trial for the murder of Robert Wilkin; alongside her co-accused, Alan Vial of Drumanoo, Killybegs.
Chris Quinn told the jury today that Nikita Burns called over to his apartment in Letterkenny late on the night of the 25th of June 2023.
He said she looked a bit panicky and seemed a bit deranged.
He thought she was off her head on something.
He said she changed her clothes in his apartment and then repeatedly told him she was a murderer – that she had battered a man with a rock.
Mr Quinn told the jury that Ms Burns told him she liked doing it and he felt she didn’t seem to care too much about it.
During a secretly recorded phone conversation with another witness a few hours later, the jury heard Ms Burns say they pushed him off Sliabh Liag.
Nikita Burns and Alan Vial deny murdering 66-year-old Robert Wilkin, whose remains were found in the waters off Sliabh Liag following an extensive search of the area.
