Two men were jailed for life today for the murder of Corkman two years ago.

A man accused of murdering his neighbour has admitted stabbing him but claimed he lost "total self control" following an argument with the deceased, Noel McCarthy, on the night of the killing.

A murder accused has admitted hitting the deceased over the head with a bottle and pushing him, but he denied involvement in a joint enterprise to murder him.

A Cork man who was stabbed in the groin lost his entire volume of blood before being rushed into the operating theatre, a medical witness told a murder trial jury today.
