Witness denies lying about murder weapon

A witness at the Central Criminal Court trial of a Dublin man accused of killing a 32-year-old father of two in north Dublin three years ago, has denied that he lied about having a knife on the night.

Mr Owen Baker told defence counsel Mr Brendan Grehan SC, in cross examination, that he had never held the murder weapon on the night of the incident and had certainly not been in the kitchen of his sister's house trying to get it cleaned.
