Man claims co-accused was 'the man' in stabbing

One of the men on trial for murder in the Mahon area of Cork last year said he was not taking the blame for something he didn’t do and claimed that his co-accused was "the man".

This evidence emerged at the Central Criminal Court sitting in Cork today as a transcript of an interview with John Brett was read to the jury where he admitted punching Brian McKee but not stabbing him.
