Doctors disagree on cause of injuries

A Cork University Hospital medical professor disagreed with a surgeon at the same hospital saying yesterday that all of the injuries suffered by a woman were consistent with a fall down a stairs in a case where her husband is on trial charged with assault causing serious harm to her.

Anthony Kelleher, aged 42, denies a charge of assaulting his wife Siobhán Kelleher, aged 36, where it is alleged that he intentionally or recklessly caused her serious harm at the family home in Curraheen, Raleigh North, Macroom, Co Cork, on June 12, 2014.

Stephen Cusack of Cork University Hospital was called by Tom Creed, defending, at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.
