THE Corkman who denies murdering a 25-year-old English man told detectives that only an animal or a scumbag would have stabbed him 11 times.

THE Corkman on trial for murdering a 25-year-old British man told gardaí that: “I don’t know what the fuck I did, I just lost it.”

A CORKMAN on trial for murder allegedly rolled up his sleeve to show the deceased — a young Englishman — a “tiocfaidh ár lá” tattoo after he claimed his father had been a loyalist.

THE claim by a man accused of murder that the deceased had been burgling his mother’s house has been contradicted by the account of a witness, who said that the accused and the deceased had been out drinking together.

A book of evidence was served today on a 33-year-old man who is accused of murdering a 25-year-old man in Cork City in April.

A man was today charged with the manslaughter of his partner, who disappeared without trace in Cork more than eight years ago.
