Cork apartment murder accused 'heard whispering' by neighbour

Two men accused of murdering a woman in a neighbouring apartment in Cork were heard whispering in their flat before she was killed and were seen leaving the block afterwards, a court heard today.

A garda ballistics specialist told the court a piece of electrical cable that was allegedly used to strangle the victim, which was found in a courtyard outside their apartment, belonged to a lamp discovered by gardaí in the victim's bedroom.
