Kerry murder trial jury to hear evidence man was stabbed on friend's couch

A jury will hear evidence that a Kerry father of one was stabbed to death while he sat on a couch at a friend’s house in Cahersiveen last year, a prosecutor said today.

Mr Elston regularly traveled to the estate from his home near Tralee to visit his ex-partner and their son, the court heard. He said the court “may hear evidence” from two prosecution witnesses - Sean McSherry and Nicola Farrell - “that they had been drinking with the deceased” in his home on the morning he died.

A post mortem conducted later the same day showed the cause of death was from two large “stab wounds”. He said the post mortem report would show the injury to the aorta “caused the death, as it carries most of the bodies blood flow”.Mr O’Leary told the jury they would be shown a knife, which gardai recovered near the murder scene.
