A homeless man has been sentenced to six years in jail after pleading gulity to the manslaughter of his partner who he pushed into the River Lee in Cork.

Gardaí arrested a 36-year-old man today and charged him with the unlawful killing of a woman in Cork city last October.

For forensic Detective Garda O’Callaghan, finding and deciphering clues from bloody scenes are all in a day’s work, says Juno McEnroe.

The jury at the murder trial in Cork were shown a video today of the accused man telling gardaí that he stabbed Patrick Walsh, punched him twice and then stabbed him again.

A teenager, who stabbed one of his friends after a row over a game of hurling, has been warned he is facing detention.
