Cork businessman stabbed during home burglary

Gardaí in Cork have recovered the weapon which they believe was used in the stabbing of a businessman who disturbed a burglar in his home.

Kevin Cummins, 68, a director of the well-known Cummins Sports business, was discharged from Cork University Hospital yesterday after treatment for a stab wound which he sustained in the incident in his home on the Cross Douglas Road on Wednesday.

Detectives spoke to Mr Cummins yesterday, but he was described last night as still deeply shocked and traumatised. Gardaí hope that the weapon used in the incident will yield vital forensic evidence.
