The defence barrister for a Waterford man on trial for the murder of his younger brother has said he has never seen a case with stronger evidence of provocation.

A trial at the Central Criminal Court has heard that the deceased’s blood was found on the clothing of his older brother, who is charged with the Waterford man’s murder.

A murder trial at the Central Criminal Court has heard that hours after his younger brother died from stab wounds, the accused told gardaí: "I stabbed him in the neck with something and went home".

A Waterford woman has told a murder trial that the deceased had threatened to "do in" the accused’s only eye minutes before he was stabbed to death on New Year’s Day 2003.
