Witnesses deny planning 'ambush'

A number of young men who saw one of their friends struck down in a fatal stabbing today denied they planned to ambush the 21 year-old Co Tipperary man who was allegedly responsible for the attack.

At the Central Criminal Court, brothers Kenneth and David Wall denied defence counsel suggestions that Charlie Maher was the victim of an assault by a group of his friends outside a takeaway, who then followed him home and jumped over a wall to ambush him.
