Limerick killing 'like some sort of ritual', says pathologist

A pathologist has described a Limerick killing as unusual because of the "methodical nature" of wounds concentrated on the heart "almost in some sort of ritual".

Dr Declan Gilsenan was giving evidence for the defence in the trial of a 33-year-old man charged with murdering a 54-year-old man in his home on September 30, 2011.
