A man and woman have been found guilty of murdering a 66-year-old man who was “alive or dead” when he was thrown over cliffs along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.
Alan Vial, 39, of Drumanoo Head, Killybegs, County Donegal, and Nikita Burns, 23, from An Charraig, County Donegal, both denied the murder of Robert Wilkin, who was also known as Robin, on 25 June 2023.
The body of the County Tyrone man was found eight days later in the sea at the foot of Slieve League cliffs in County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland.
His body was found following a search involving gardaí (Irish police), the Donegal Mountain Rescue Team and the Irish Coastguard.
