A garda investigating the disappearance of Bobby Ryan made a note saying, “Mary Lowry had his head melted,” but he couldn’t remember who made the comment, the Central Criminal Court has heard. Bobby Ryan (52), a part-time DJ going by the name Mr Moonlight, went missing on June 3, 2011 after leaving his girlfriend Mary Lowry’s house at 6.30am. The prosecution claims that Mr Quirke murdered Mr Ryan so he could rekindle an affair with Ms Lowry. Mr Quirke has pleaded not guilty to Mr Ryan’s murder.
