Two 'stabbing' wounds caused by doctors, court hears

A surgeon told a murder trial today that two wounds found in the deceased’s heart during autopsy, presumed to be caused by a stabbing, were actually caused by him and a colleague.

Dr Michael Tolan of St James’ Hospital in Dublin was giving evidence to the Central Criminal Court in the trial of a Ballyfermot man, accused of the 41-year-old’s murder.
