Former solicitor Michael Lynn has told his multi-million euro theft trial that while in jail awaiting extradition from Brazil he saw a prisoner beheaded by other inmates.

Mr Lynn (53) continued giving evidence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on Thursday. He described what life was like in a Brazilian prison after his arrest in August 2013 in Recife, a coastal city in northeast Brazil.
