A court in Spain has heard closing arguments in the case of a Dundalk man charged with killing his wife while they were on holiday.
Kelly-Anne Corcoran died after falling from the fourth floor balcony of her hotel in the Costa del Sol in February 2000.
Today her husband Michael Dermot McArdle told the jury that he is innocent.
He has rejected two offers of a reduced sentence because he says he is innocent.
Mr McArdle has denied deliberately pushing or throwing his 28-year-old wife from the fourth-floor balcony of their hotel in Marbella.
He says his wife had tripped and she fell to her death after she ran to their then three-year-old son who was leaning over the railing.
Ms Corcoran's family has attended the trial throughout and yesterday the court was shown video reconstructions of the night she fell to her death.
The court also heard evidence that Ms Corcoran's injuries were consistent with a feet-first fall from the balcony.
The pathologist told the court there were no marks or bruises that had been caused before the fall.
Yesterday the prosecution reduced the charge from murder to manslaughter.
They are seeking a sentence of four years, while a private prosecution on behalf of Ms Corcoran's family is asking for a sentence of 15 years.
