A 21-year-old man on trial for murder told one of his friends that he had stabbed another man as they left a house party in the early hours of the morning, a murder trial jury heard today.

Giving evidence in the trial of Mr Stephen Kelly, his friend Mark Larkin (aged 22) said that he was one of a number of young people who were asked to leave a party because there were a "few people outside with poles".
