If victim hadn't produced knife he would be alive, murder trial hears

A Dublin man accused along with his brother of murdering a father of six in front of his wife and children, has told his trial that the man would still be alive today if he hadn't produced a knife.

Taking the witness stand on day eight of his murder trial, Jeffrey Dumbrell (aged 30), told the jury he and his brother Warren Dumbrell, had gone as “minders” to meet Christopher Cawley in October 2006, following an arrangement between the 33-year-old and their younger brother to have a fight.
