A garda has told a murder trial jury that a knife was missing from a knife block in the home of a Dublin man accused of murdering a 26-year-old man and stabbing a professional boxer.

Wayne Kennedy, aged 33, of Rathsallagh Park in Shankill, Co Dublin, is charged with murdering David Spain on December 26, 2013, at this address, as well as intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to Sean Turner, aged 24, on the same date.
