The father-of-one stabbed the 31 year old to death outside Longford Shopping Centre shortly after 11.30am that day. He has pleaded not guilty to murder, but guilty to manslaughter.
His neighbour had described the people who had done it, and the accused said he knew that it was the deceased, to whom he owed money. The gardaí arrived and began an investigation. “I wasn’t in the best of mood because my girlfriend, her mother and sister weren’t,” he said, referring to the three women with whom he and three children shared the apartment.He could have come in,” he said of the deceased. “I was looking to get him for what he’d done. It just kept on happening so either I or he was getting it.”He said that he took the knife because he had never known the deceased to have a fair fight.
