The prosecution claims he did so in an attempt to rekindle an affair with his ex-lover Mary Lowry, who was in a relationship with Mr. Ryan.
Mr. Quirke’s barrister has accused the other side of presenting a case based on theory with no evidence to back it up.
The jury has now been deliberating for eleven hours.
