The man accused of murdering his brother in a graveyard in Tralee rejected the comparison with the biblical Cain and Abel story – “He is no Cainite. He did not murder his brother.” 

Brendan Grehan senior counsel for Patrick Dooley said the prosecution had used the twin ploys of ridicule and extreme exaggeration and he rejected the idea that this was the biblical Cain and Abel story.
