Parts of knife found near murdered pair

The tip of a knife found in a pool of blood alongside the body of an eight-year-old girl and a piece of a blade found alongside her dead mother in their home were from the same knife, the trial of a man for double murder has been told.

The trial of Lithuanian forestry worker Aurimas Andruska, aged 27, also heard “someone had walked in the wet blood” of the girl, Enrika, on an upstairs landing.

Jolanta Lubiene, aged 27, had attempted, while bleeding extensively, to get out through the back door of the house at Langford Downs, Killorglin, but went back to the kitchen area where her body was found.
