Murder trial hears teenager died from severed artery in stabbing

Acting State Pathologist Dr Linda Mulligan told the trial that one wound to the chest of 18-year-old Azzam Raguragui (pictured) caused his death.

A teenager who was stabbed to death during a melee in a Dublin park suffered four stab wounds including one that severed a major artery, a pathologist has told the Central Criminal Court.

Acting State Pathologist Dr Linda Mulligan told the trial that one wound to the chest of 18-year-old Azzam Raguragui caused his death. The severed artery would have led to collapse and death a short time later, she said. She found no defensive wounds on his hands or arms.
