The jury in the trial of a teenager charged with murder has been told that if the accused is not guilty, he must be the unluckiest man in Ireland to have all the evidence stacked against him.

The Central Criminal Court has heard that a Kilkenny teenager told different stories to gardaí and to friends about an injury he sustained around the time of a murder of which he’s accused.

The trial of a young Kilkenny man, accused of murdering his friend’s mother, has heard that he used a bloody €50 note to pay for a playstation game on the evening of the killing.
