A Tipperary father-of-one has been found guilty of murdering his ‘best friend’ and neighbour while he slept, because he believed he ‘grassed him up’.

The barrister of a Tipperary man accused of murder has described his client’s prosecution as "a good old-fashioned fit up" by Clonmel gardaí.

A detective has told the jury in a Tipperary murder trial that the accused admitted the killing to him in a squad car, with the words "I did it".
