Murder accused 'inconsolable' over child's broken finger

A Turkish barber who stabbed his ex-partner and left her to die in front of their one-year-old son before cutting his own throat and wrists was “inconsolable” over his child’s broken finger, a court has heard.

Hadim Kedik, 32, with an address at 10 Connolly Street, Clonakilty, Co Cork, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Rose Patterson, 30, between April 11 and 12, last year.
