Vial and Burns deny murder charges, claiming Wilkin was alive when they left him near cliffs in Ireland.

Alan Vial, 39, and Nikita Burns, both accused of murdering 66-year-old Robert 'Robin' Wilkin, claim Wilkin was alive when they left him near the edge of Sliabh Liag cliffs in Ireland. Wilkin's body was found eight days later in the water below, which Vial noted was ironic as Wilkin "always wanted to be buried at sea." Both deny the murder charges, stating Wilkin had severe head injuries from a fight but was breathing when they departed. The trial is ongoing.
