The trial of a man accused of murdering Daniel McAnaspie has heard Gardaí found surgical gloves on him two days after he went missing.

Richard Decker, whoÂ’s from Dublin 15, denies murdering the Dublin teenager at Tolka Valley Park in Blanchardstown in 2010.

Denise Kelly was one of five people who spent the early hours of Feb 26th 2010 drinking with Daniel McAnaspie at a cul de sac outside her home.

Richard Dekker was also there.

She told the jury that another man punched Daniel in the face after he said something to him about his dead uncle.

It is the StateÂ’s case that Mr. Dekker joined this man in a ruse to lure Daniel to an isolated area by the River Tolka and that he knew this man was armed with half a garden shears.

Daniel, who was in State care at the time, was found in a drain on a farmerÂ’s land in Co. Meath almost three months later.

Garda Peter Bernard gave evidence of stopping Mr. Dekker two days after heÂ’s accused of murdering the 17-year-old and that when he asked him why he had some surgical gloves in his pocket, he told him they were to keep his hands warm.

The trial resumes tomorrow.
