A 24-year-old father of one, who attacked four members of a family with his ornamental knife, will be sentenced next week for killing one of them and harming the others.

A 23-year-old Dubliner has been found guilty of killing a father of three and injuring two of his children as well as their uncle following his daughter’s Junior Cert result celebrations.

The jury in the trial of a man charged with murdering a father of three has been asked to acquit him of murder and convict him of manslaughter by reason of self defence.

A trail of blood led gardaí from the body of a man stabbed in his neck to the home of his suspected killer, who was hiding behind furniture, a court has heard.

A brother and sister have described the moment their father was killed during a confrontation following her Junior Certificate result celebrations two years ago.
