Bloodied fingerprint shown in court

A section of internal wall with a bloodied fingerprint removed from a murder scene was dramatically produced in a courtroom yesterday and shown to the jury.

The fingerprint, drilled from a wall section of 9 Langford Downs, where the bodies of mother and daughter Jolanta Lubiene, aged 27, and Enrika, aged 8, were found in June 2013, was “beyond doubt” that of the man accused of their murder, the Central Criminal Court in Tralee has been told by the prosecution.

However, the accused man denies the blood-print of the small left finger was his, the trial heard.
