Witness says men ran away laughing after attack

A young plasterer was attacked by two men – each armed with a knife - and they then ran away laughing, an eyewitness in the Mahon murder trial claimed at the Central Criminal Court sitting in Cork today.

John Brett (aged 25) of 26A Leitrim Street, Cork, and Jason Quinlan (aged 29) of 11 Loughmahon Drive, Mahon, Cork, both deny murdering Brian McKee (aged 24) at Ballinure Avenue, Mahon, Cork, on August 25, 2007.
