The two men accused of murdering a 24-year-old man in Mahon last year by stabbing him 11 times were found guilty of the crime yesterday and they were given sentences of life imprisonment.

One of the men on trial for murder in the Mahon area of Cork last year said he was not taking the blame for something he didn’t do and claimed that his co-accused was "the man".

TWO men were charged yesterday in connection with the death of a father of two in a Cork suburb.
