Accused put man’s corpse into a plastic bag, says detective

The brother of a man accused of murdering 53-year-old Christopher Jackson, who was stabbed to death at his home in Dublin last week, has been charged with covering up the crime.

Mr Jackson’s body was found last Saturday in his flat at 82 Prussia St, Dublin. His corpse had been concealed in a plastic bag in a wardrobe for about two days.

On Monday, his neighbour Bernard Locke was remanded in custody by Dublin District Court after he was charged with murdering Mr Jackson on or about Sept 7. He had stated “no response” after he was charged and will appear again at Cloverhill District Court tomorrow.
