This week, Stephen Mooney pleaded guilty to murdering his wife, Anna Mooney, at their home in Kilbarrack in June 2023.
Mooney had been due to stand trial for the murder but circumstances changed last month following a “significant development” in the case.
After two years of being unable to access the contents of Mooney’s phone, gardaí were finally able to extract video and audio footage of the murder using controversial Israeli-made decryption technology.
What is this decryption technology, how does it work and why did it take two years to work?
