Man accused of murdering love rival told 'pack of lies', barrister tells court

A man accused of murdering his love rival told a "pack of lies" when he claimed the deceased came at him with a knife, a barrister has told the Central Criminal Court.

Brendan Grehan SC in his closing speech to the jury in the trial of Dublin man Keith Connorton said that if the accused's account is true then he is guilty of no crime. But the evidence contradicts his account, Mr Grehan said, as he urged the jury to convict him of murder.
