Dundalk - Man on trial over stabbing

The trial has begun in the Central Criminal Court of a homeless man accused of stabbing another man with a shard of glass.

36-year-old Gregory Conway, of no fixed abode, denies the murder of Liam 'Limbo' Murphy, also known as Liam Maguire, at his home in Dundalk, Co Louth, in June of last year.

The jury of ten women and two men were told that on the day of Mr Maguire's death he had invited four homeless men back to his house.

They had been drinking all afternoon in a downstairs room; at some stage a row developed and a glass-fronted cabinet was smashed, leaving shards of glass on the floor.

The trial continues tomorrow before Mr Justice Paul Carney.
