Jury warned there were ‘unfortunately some gruesome aspects to the case’ that they would have to listen to
He said the State would produce evidence that the accused, Mr Nicolescu, a Romanian, who had been living in Ireland since 2016 and was working at the Silver Key pub in Ballinlough, left Aldi in Cork City centre at 7.54pm and returned to Castlegreine House where he had been squatting.
The scene was preserved and the body, which was identified as that of Mr Dunne, was removed for a postmortem examination at Cork University Hospital by State Pathologist Dr Heidi Okkers. This confirmed he had died from compression of the neck and blunt force trauma to the head. He said that State would allege that Mr Nicolescu stayed elsewhere that night and, after finishing work in the Silver Key the next day, Sunday, December 29th, he took a bus from Cork to Dundalk and on to Belfast from where he flew to Edinburgh before flying home to Romania.
