A man accused of murder has told gardai that he believed his life was at risk and acted in self-defence when he stabbed another man, a court has heard. The incident occurred in Dublin, and the accused made the statement during his arrest.
The court proceedings, which began on July 15, 2026, heard details of the accused's claim. The prosecution is expected to present evidence challenging the self-defence argument, including forensic reports and witness testimony.
The case continues, with the judge warning the jury not to discuss the matter outside court. No verdict has been reached, and further hearings are scheduled for later this month.
