Accused 'was unaware of extent of murder victim's injuries'

One of three New Age Travellers accused of the murder of a Portuguese national told gardaí he intended to force the deceased off a campsite but did not realise the extent of his injuries when he dragged him to a field where he later died.

Graeme Turnbull (aged 36) with an address at Ballyhooley Rd, Cork made a statement to gardaí when he was arrested following the discovery of the body of Sergio Abru, who died after suffering serious head injuries.
