Pathologist: Man’s clothes were stiff with dried blood

A 54-year-old man found dead in his Limerick home died of multiple stab and incise wounds to his head, neck, body, and extremities, a murder trial has heard.

Deputy state pathologist Dr Khalid Jabbar was giving evidence of his autopsy findings in the trial of the 33-year-old Limerick man charged with murder.

The Central Criminal Court had already heard that Martin Purcell’s body was found with 41 wounds on Friday, Sept 30, 2011, in his apartment on Wickham St, Limerick.
