The jury in the Macroom murder trial will hear their eighth day of evidence on Monday in a case where a man died after being stabbed 28 times and his ex-wife denies murdering him.

Judge Eileen Creedon sent the jury home today after they heard scientific evidence of blood stains and related matters from three forensic scientists at Forensic Science Ireland who gave evidence by video link from their base in Dublin to the Central Criminal Court sitting in Cork.
