'Master' and 'slave' contacts saved on phones, Dwyer trial told

Graham Dwyer's murder trial has heard the contacts indicating "master" and "slave" were saved on two Nokia phones found in a Wicklow reservoir.

Analyst Sarah Skedd said they were stored without any vowels, as in "MSTR" and "SLV".

She investigated traffic on five phone numbers including Elaine O'Hara's iPhone, Graham Dwyer's work phone and the two Nokias found at Vartry which are alleged to be secret phones the two used almost exclusively to contact each other.

Traffic between five mobile phones has been analysed – there is Elaine O'Hara's iPhone and there is Graham Dwyer's work phone.

Then there are two phones found in the Vartry Reservoir which are alleged to be secret phones the two used almost exclusively to contact each other.

The reservoir phones have the number of the other saved in contacts – under the name 'slv' or slave in one and 'mstr' or master in the other.

The jury heard there were more than 1,300 messages between these phones but contact ended on August 22, 2012 - the day of the alleged murder.

There is also a fifth prepaid 083 number which the prosecution alleges is another secret phone used by the accused.

The architect of Kerrymount Close, Foxrock, Dublin denies stabbing the childcare worker at Killakee mountain in August 2012.

The prosecution alleges he did it for his own sexual gratification.
