Man told gardaí he'd 'do it again', court told

A 50 year-old man who stabbed a HIV-positive patient to death in St James’s Hospital told gardaí that he would "do it again" when they arrested him.

Patrick Gilraine, a father-of-four, from Basin St flats, Dublin 8, admitted to Garda Sean Cosgrove that he had carried out the frenzied attack on Kevin Dowler, aged 52, and said he hoped his victim was dead.
