I found tenant lying on the floor with his throat cut, says landlord

A Limerick landlord became emotional as he described finding one of his with his throat cut.

He was giving evidence in the trial of a 33-year-old Limerick man charged with murdering a 54-year-old man found with 41 wounds to his body.

Gerard Manning, of Upper Gerald Griffin St, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Martin Purcell at his apartment on Wickham St, Limerick, between Sept 28 and 30, 2011.
