Fatal row was 'over a sausage', court told

A 21 year-old Co Tipperary man charged with the murder of one of his friends in Waterford city last year allegedly stabbed him in a row over a battered sausage.

At the Central Criminal Court today, a witness to the incident told a murder trial jury that “all war broke loose over a sausage” prior to the killing of John Paul Ryan, aged 20, a native of Fethard, Co Tipperary who was living in Waterford city at the time.
