The jury in the Macroom murder trial was shown a long, black-handled carving knife on Monday that was found by a bus driver in the cargo hold of a bus.

Garda Mary Malone held up the exhibit as bus driver Paudie McKenna gave evidence of finding the knife which he believed was stained with either rust or dried blood.
