Three pathologists to give evidence on Brian Murphy death

Three pathologists are to give medical evidence at a preliminary hearing of the inquest of student Brian Murphy after controversy arose surrounding his cause of death, it was ruled today.

In an unprecedented move, Dublin City Coroner Dr Brian Farrell said he would allow reports from three experts be presented at a hearing on the case of the student, who died after an assault outside Club Anabel in Dublin’s Burlington Hotel in August 2000.
