Witness says murder accused was abusive towards victim

A mother who was celebrating the christening of her baby son in a Bray pub has claimed the accused used abusive language towards the deceased man hours before he was fatally stabbed, the Central Criminal Court has heard.

Ms Rosalind Crean alleges that after the deceased said hello to the accused in the William Dargan pub, he replied saying: "What the f**k are you looking at" or "What are you f**king smiling at".
