A cut-throat killer has been convicted for murder and jailed for life in the Central Criminal Court.

A man who confessed to cutting the throat of an older man in Inchicore four years ago was subjected to a horrific sexual assault in a field in Dublin as a teenager, a murder trial jury has heard.

A man accused of a cut-throat killing could have taken sleeping tablets or painkillers along with alcohol before he kicked and then stabbed an older man to death in Inchicore four years ago.
