THE prosecution case against a man accused of the murder of Jennifer Dornan came to a close today following seven weeks of evidence.
Raymond O'Neill (43) is currently standing trial at Belfast Crown Court after he was charged with murdering the 30-year old mother-of-three.
She died in the bedroom of her Hazel View home in the Lagmore area of west Belfast in the early hours of August 2 2015.
O'Neill, who was living in Amcomri Street in the Beechmount area at the time, has denied murdering Ms Dornan and setting fire to her bedroom.
As the prosecution case concluded today, the jury heard from the last Crown witnesses.
The six men and six women were also provided with an 'agreed set of facts', which detailed attacks on Ms Dornan's previous home as well as O'Neill's criminal record.
Reading the agreed facts to the jury, Crown barrister David McDowell QC revealed that prior to moving to Hazel View, Ms Dornan's family home was targeted on a number of occasions.
Mr McDowell spoke of several incidents at her former home and threats issues throughout 2012 and 2013, which he said were directed at her former partner/the father of her three children.
As well as attacks on Ms Dornan's home and her car, threats were also made to her former partner - who has spent most of his life in and out of prison - by dissident republicans.
Ms Dornan reported the threats and acts of criminal damage to the PSNI.
O'Neill's criminal record - consisting of burglaries and assaults - was also highlighted to the jury.
The record spans over a period from 1994 and 2012 and includes multiple domestic burglaries, car thefts and assaults committed on both sides of the border.
The crimes resulted in sentences being imposed on O'Neill in both magistrate and crown courts in Northern Ireland, as well as in Dundalk District Court.
After the facts were read to the jury and the witnesses concluded their evidence, Mr McDowell told trial judge Mr Justice Scoffield: "My Lord, that is the case for the prosecution".
The senior judge then addressed the jury and told them to return to court tomorrow when the defence is due to commence its case.
The trial continues.
