Richard Satchwell listened to himself tell lie after lie but still only he truly knows what happened to wife Tina
RICHARD Satchwell cut a sad, lonely figure throughout his five-week trial in the Central Criminal Court. He rarely lifted his head 4 Richard Satchwell had pleaded not guilty to murdering his wife 4 Tina's remains were found at the couple's home in Youghal in 2023 Credit: Collect It was clear something didn't add up then, but it wasn't until we heard the full prosecution And it was harrowing stuff. The 58-year-old could do nothing more than try to hide his shame throughout the proceedings - especially as he listened back to 14 interviews he gave to television stations, radio stations, both local and national, and newspapers in the months that followed Tina's disappearance. Read more on Richard Satchwell He had to listen to himself tell lie after lie, spout repeated nonsense theories as to where Tina might be and what must have been going through his head as he watched himself put on an All the while One of the saddest things about this case is that Richard Satchwell put himself front and centre of this story from the outset and while Tina might not necessarily have been forgotten about, who she was, certainly was. Most read in The Irish Sun But these were all elements Richard Satchwell introduced into the case as part of his account of the life the couple shared together in the coastal town in rural Cork. Another account which came solely from the mouth of the murderer was the how and why Tina died. UNABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF DEATH The long period from the day she died up to the moment So there was nothing to corroborate what he had to say and only he will truly know what happened between March 19 and 20, 2017. But it was years of public storytelling which probably sealed his fate because it was very hard to believe anything he had to say, even if his barrister Brendan Grehan tried to remind the jury that people lie for many reasons and he was not on trial for ACCEPTED HIS FATE Throughout the trial Satchwell looked like a man who had long since accepted his fate, knowing it would be very difficult to convince a jury of his version of events. And the guilty verdict will ensure only one sentence, which will give him enough opportunities to contemplate how winning the Lotto the day he met Tina, in his words, went so violently and tragically wrong. Hopefully before Mr Justice Paul McDermott gets around to imposing Satchwell's life sentence, we get to hear from her family and the person Tina was becomes a bit more central to this distressing case. 4 Satchwell told cops on March 24, 2017, that Tina had left the marital home four days earlier Credit: John Delea - The Sun Dublin 4 Throughout the trial Satchwell looked like a man who had long since accepted his fate Credit: John Delea - The Sun Dublin

Perth mother unknowingly won $2.3 million after mistaking calls from Lotterywest for Greenpeace
A Perth woman who banked $2.3 million in Lotto, despite being told she'd never win by a clairvoyant, has told how she celebrated with a $7 bottle of champagne and a trip to Bali. While Lotto winners rarely speak to the media, a WA division-one winner has broken their silence on what it's like to score the jackpot. The 59-year-old woman, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, became a millionaire in January 2024 after ignoring calls from Lotterywest, mistaking them for callers from a charity. 'I go in (a syndicate) every week with my cousin, we have a small system, so it costs us $5 a week… We've been doing it for 20 years; we definitely haven't broken even,' the woman said. 'I saw that there was a $30 million super draw, so I thought I'll get a Slikpik (by myself) and then we went away for Christmas. 'We went up to Lancelin with a whole lot of family and I kept getting these missed calls, and I thought bloody Greenpeace, because I signed a petition and they ring you up and follow up.' "We toasted with this bottle of $7 champagne. " It wasn't until she returned home and checked her emails that she realised the reason for the calls. 'I saw something from Lotterywest and it said you need to contact us about a prize,' said. Believing it was a scam, she checked her app which confirmed the ticket was a winner, which she soon realised was to the value of $2.3m. The news made it through the home, with everyone erupting in celebration. 'We toasted with this bottle of $7 champagne,' the woman said. '(My daughter's) jumping around the house, one of my other kids was home jumping around, they ran and told my husband and he's jumping around. 'I wasn't really over the top excited, the others were going crazy, my husband couldn't sleep all night.' The woman said the group celebrated in style. 'I hadn't had the chance to go out and buy any decent champagne because I had been so busy,' she said. 'It was the worst kept secret in the history of the world, everyone knew about it.' Despite being offered financial advice by Lotterywest, the woman had already mapped out a plan for the cash. The couple bought their sister out of their shared investment property and loaded up their superannuation before turning their attention to their four children. The woman generously gifted her children a wad of cash, with some conditions attached. 'They got $100,000 for a mortgage, and they got $20,000 fun money,' she said. The couple have been enjoying the money after the win, remodelling the kitchen on their home, splashing on a 'dream car' 300 series LandCruiser and going away on surfing trips to Bali. 'It hasn't changed my life hugely, it's just made a better balance of everything,' the woman said. 'We've still got the same friends, we still do the same stuff, it's not like we're all driving flash cars or fine dining. "'You can't play lotto to bank on it changing your life, you've got to change your life yourself to make sure you're enjoying it, then if you get lotto it's a bonus.' " Despite being close to retirement, neither the woman or her husband stopped working, to the surprise of her colleagues. 'I was never going to stop work, I really enjoy my job, my husband straight away said – that's it, I'm never going to work again… 14 months later and he's still (working),' she said. 'I've just taken a lower position and work casual now… and I don't have to do night shifts, which when you're 59 is getting exhausting.' The win debunked predictions from a clairvoyant who was asked by the woman's daughter about the possibility of a Lotto win. 'She came back and said 'no, your mum won't win Lotto so don't bother buying Lotto tickets',' the woman said. 'Obviously if I don't buy a ticket then she'll be right… and I said I am going to win Lotto, so I'm going to keep buying a ticket.'
