Deep stab wounds caused man’s death

A MAN stabbed to death suffered three “deeply penetrating wounds”, two of them seven inches deep, a court heard yesterday.

State pathologist Dr Marie Cassidy told the murder trial that the victim, Christy Cawley, also had “defence-type injuries” on his hands, consistent with a struggle.

Mr Cawley, 33, and a father-of-six, from Tyrone Place, Inchicore, in Dublin’s south inner city, died on October 29, 2006.
