A homeless man with addiction difficulties was found lying face down in the gateway of a country lane in north Co. Dublin with over 60 stab wounds to his body, a prosecution barrister has told a murder trial.

Lorcan Staines SC, for the State, also told the Central Criminal Court jury today that this was a circumstantial case and ultimately the question for them was "who did it" and not whether the deceased was murdered or not.
