Witness gives evidence in trial of brothers for 2006 murder

An eye-witness in the case of a father of six who was fatally stabbed in front of his wife and children, has told the Central Criminal Court she saw two men “beating and jabbing” him while blood ran out of him “like a river.”

Amanda Maguire (aged 25), a friend and next door neighbour of Christopher Cawley, said she heard him pleading with his attackers to stop, saying “leave me alone, me kids” but they kept beating him.
