Sligo man may have died after 'stamp' to head

The State Pathologist, Dr Marie Cassidy, told a murder trial at the Central Criminal Court today that the death of an ex-soldier from Sligo could have been partially caused by a heavy “stamp” to the head.

Mark Sweeney (aged 22) of Finisklin Road, Sligo, denies murdering Paul Watters (aged 45), a native of Avondale, Sligo, in a laneway at Stephen Mews, Sligo, on July 27 last year.
