Robert Wilkin: Murder accused ‘couldn’t have stopped attack’

Advertisements

A woman accused of the murder of Robert Wilkin sent a message to her brother saying she “couldn’t have stopped” her co-accused from attacking the 66-year-old, a court has heard.

Nikita Burns, 23, from An Charraig, County Donegal, and co-accused lan Vial, 39, of Drumanoo Head, Killybegs, County Donegal, both deny the murder of Mr Wilkin, originally from County Tyrone, on 25 June 2023.

The body of Mr Wilkin, also known as Robin, was found eight days later in the sea at the foot of the Slieve League cliffs in County Donegal.

Nikita Burn’s brother, Ruben Burns, told Dublin Central Criminal Court on Thursday that within days of the alleged murder, he received a number of messages from his sister about the night in question.
