Missing woman in Youghal.

Is he enough of a weirdo to have buried her in the living room if she had died of natural causes?

He definitely is.
The prosecution haven’t said yet how they believe she actually died have they??

I did some googling and this is what has come up.
“A forensic archaeologist testified that Tina’s body was found buried nearly one meter deep beneath the stairway, wrapped in black plastic sheeting. Due to the decomposition of the remains, a pathologist was unable to determine the exact cause of death”

So she could have died in her sleep.

If the guy had stayed stum he could be walking out of court

You don't need an exact cause of death necessarily. It wasn't established in Graham O'Dwyer case either.

I haven’t a clue but what seems different is that the lady in Dublin was dismembered or something and phone data recovered showing the grim details of what was going on. Wasn’t the extraordinary coincidence that years after her death, but within a few days of each other, a part of her skeleton was accidentally found in the mountains and miles away the mobile phone and car keys found at the bottom of a reservoir?

I am just talking generally. You don't need a cause of death and in some cases you don't even have a body to examine. Anyway he admitted he killed her.

It will be interesting to see how the gruesome events play out through the legal process

Also in the case of Nora Sheehan, the woman murdered by Noel Long.

This is the internet, where idle speculation abounds - and I've engaged in a good bit of it myself.... but in reality, any death not by Richard Satchwell's hand doesn't add up if he's burying her under the stairs. If he woke up to find her dead, he'd probably be calling an ambulance. He'd probably be looking for help, as anyone would. After all, if there was even the slightest chance that what is taken as dead is really unresponsive, then there is a chance they could be saved.

And her body would be the perfect evidence to show authorities that no foul play was involved. If she died a natural death, there'd be nothing to hide.

The only way to explain burying her under the stairs in this instance would be some kind of lapse of sanity - some kind of fugue state, but this is a large detail that must be assumed/invented in order to make the theory make sense. I don't think Sherlock Holmes would be impressed with it.

So, while it's all technically possible, it's definitely down the list of contending theories.

I still cant believe he had a fucking cement mixer in his living room. Dopey Gardai

You mean, you don't have 1 in yours?

Apologies, I should have clarified that I looked up online what was reported by the media on court proceedings . The section I quoted was from one of the newspapers, I think the Irish Times.
