Man due to appear in court in connection with 2013 Cork murder

A 27-year-old man is due to go on trial today charged with the murder of a Cork man whose body was found in a refuse chute in an apartment block.

David O'Loughlin - who is from the City Gate Apartments in Cork - is charged with the murder of 59-year-old Liam Manley in the apartment complex on North Main Street, on May 12, 2013.

Mr Manley's body was found in a refuse chute the following day by a maintenance man who went to clear rubbish from it.

A jury is expected to be sworn in this morning for David O'Loughlin's trial at the Central Criminal Court sitting at the Washington Street Courthouse.

It is expected to last three weeks or more.
