Richard Satchwell to appeal against his conviction for the murder of his wife Tina
Richard Satchwell has lodged an appeal against his conviction for the murder of his wife Tina Satchwell, who he admitted to burying beneath a concrete floor in their East Cork home. The appeal was lodged on June 4, the day he was jailed for life for his wife's murder, it is understood. Satchwell, 58, pleaded not guilty to the murder of his wife on March 20, 2017 at their home on 3 Grattan St, Youghal. But following a four week trial in front of Justice Paul McDermott and the jury of seven women and five men, he was found guilty of her murder. Ms Satchwell's skeletal remains were found in a shallow grave under a concrete floor in the sitting room of her home during an invasive search of the property in October 2023. Missing persons report Her husband first told gardaí that his wife was missing on March 24, 2017. He said that on the morning of March 20, 2017, Mrs Satchwell had asked him to go to Dungarvan to buy parrot food [for their parrot Valentine] and for some other items in Aldi. But when he got back, he said that his wife was gone. Gardaí strongly suspected something criminal had happened to Mrs Satchwell. Up to 10 gardaí searched the Satchwell's house on June 7, 2017 for 12 hours. Gardaí discovered a filthy, unkempt home, with dog faeces on the floor and a bird cage that had not been cleaned in a long time. Luminol, a chemical that detects the presence of blood, was used by Dr Edward Connolly, forensic scientist with Forensic Science Ireland, throughout the 'complete' house, including the stairwells. No traces of blood were found. But photos taken in the home on that search prompted a second, invasive search at the home in October 2023. 'Home improvements' and a new red brick wall were noted under the stairwell in the sitting room and that area was excavated. Below this concrete, a skeletal hand emerging from sandy soil was the first sighting of Mrs Satchwell, who had vanished more than six years earlier. Her body was found in a supine position with loose skeletal parts in a grave beneath that wall. Mr Satchwell was arrested for his wife's murder that day, October 12, 2023. Sudden change in Satchwell's story After more than six years saying that his wife had left him, he suddenly changed his narrative. Now, he told gardaí that he had been making Mrs Satchwell breakfast on the morning of March 20, 2017, when he heard a scraping noise by the staircase. He followed the noise and claimed he found his wife scraping plasterboard he had recently erected by the staircase with a chisel. He claimed he said 'Tina, what are you doing?' And she then 'flew at him with a chisel,' he said. He fell to the ground and she jumped on top of him, trying to stab him in the head with the chisel, he claimed. He said he held the belt of her dressing gown to her neck to protect himself and 'in a flash' she 'went limp' and fell into his arms dead. He later buried her under the stairs in the sitting room and concreted over her shallow grave.

Barclays reshuffles APAC investment banking leadership to boost regional presence
By Rajasik Mukherjee and Selena Li (Reuters) -Barclays announced on Thursday a series of executive appointments within its Asia Pacific investment banking division, aiming to drive regional growth even as it globally reviews capital allocation to the business. The APAC revamp follows the British banking group's focus on optimizing capital allocation in investment banking, midway through a three-year plan to cut 2 billion pounds ($2.73 billion) in costs-shifting resources mainly from this division to higher-margin businesses. These changes follow the May appointment of company veteran Avinash Thakur as head of division in APAC. "Asia Pacific is crucial to our global growth plan, and this team will drive the next phase of our ambition," said Thakur, who succeeded former regional investment banking head Vanessa Koo following her retirement. As part of the reshuffle, Richard Satchwell, former Australia country chief executive and head of Investment Banking, has been appointed head of Capital Markets Financing for Asia Pacific. Ee-Ching Tay, who is the current head of Investment Banking, Southeast Asia, has been appointed chief of Merger and Acquisition, Asia Pacific. Duncan Connellan will assume the role of chief of Investment Banking, Australia, and David Henderson, a former Goldman Sachs executive, is appointed as CEO of its operations in Australia. The bank appointed Arun Saigal as head of Investment Banking in India, expanding his role beyond his current responsibility as head of Financing and M&A in the country. All appointments are effective immediately. ($1 = 0.7337 pounds)

Fears Satchwell murder home will become ‘macabre' tourist spot
Property jointly registered in killer and victim's names Locals in Youghal, Co Cork fear no 3 Grattan Street, the house where Richard Satchwell kept his wife's body buried beneath the stairs for six and a half years, will become a macabre tourist destination for true crime 'fans.' Property records obtained by the Sunday World show Richard Satchwell and murdered Tina were jointly registered as 'full owners' of the property on July 21st, 2016. There have been no changes of ownership recorded on the deeds since. This means despite his status as a convicted killer Satchwell will retain his 50 percent interest in the property. Richard Satchwell with his wife Tina However, under Irish law a person is not entitled to benefit financially from a crime, meaning the remaining 50 per cent will go to Tina's estate. In recent weeks, a make-shift memorial with a plaque saying ' Not a Day goes by that you are not missed' could be seen on the front window of the property. One local man told the Sunday World: 'People in the town would be happy if someone would come in and tear it down. 'But the way the Irish courts work, it will probably end up derelict there for years before it can be sold. 'And you can imagine the weirdos that will be down here gawking at it and trying to get inside it. 'I'm not saying we don't want tourists but there's some kind you're better off without.' New photos of the house where Tina Satchwell's body was found A neighbour who spoke with the Sunday World as the jury were still out in Satchwell's trial, said although the case was shocking, he had never encountered Richard Satchwell's darker side. 'He didn't say much and seemed a bit withdrawn,' he said. 'We only moved in after his wife disappeared and you'd see him walking past the house on the street. Tina Satchwell's home where her remains were found 'He always had his head down … like a man who knew everyone in the town thought he'd killed his wife. 'But until they found the body, nobody knew that for sure.' A man working in a yard at the rear of Grattan Street said his daughter's father-in-law worked in the same company as Satchwell. 'After the wife disappeared, he put up a front. Richard Satchwell murdered his wife 'He'd try and sit with other drivers for a coffee as if nothing was wrong. 'But no-one trusted him.' The man also said he regarded Satchwell's decision to conceal his wife under the stairs as an act of pure stupidity. 'He had a truck … he drives all over the country and he had the sea on his doorstep,' he said. 'He'd six-and-half years to put the poor woman somewhere and if he had he would never have been caught. 'He could be living it up in South America now instead of being in a prison cell. 'What kind of a man lives in a house for that length of time with a dead body?'
