Mother found son in pool of blood on road after stabbing, inquest hears

A MOTHER who arrived at a scene where her 19-year-old son had been fatally attacked, saw blood on the road where he had died.

An inquest in Killarney was also told Philip O’Sullivan, of Clonee, Tuosist, Co Kerry, died from a single knife wound which went through his genital area and into his right groin.

Robert Anthony, aged 61, was given a 10-year prison sentence in the Central Criminal Court, last October, after pleading guilty to the manslaughter of Mr O’Sullivan at Derrylough, Tuosist, on August 22, 1997.
