Murder accused’s palm print found in victim’s flat, jury told

THE palm print of a woman on trial for murdering a young man in Cork two years ago was found on the broken handle of a sweeping brush at the dead man’s flat.

This was the evidence given to the jury on the 19th day of the trial at the Central Criminal Court sitting in Cork yesterday.

Detective Garda Chris O’Connor, a fingerprint expert, said he examined a broken brush handle found at the deceased man John McManus’s flat.
