A 61-YEAR-OLD man who was found dead at his home suffered 11 stab wounds in addition to incised and slash wounds, lacerations and abrasions, a murder trial has heard.

Daniel Hourigan, who is originally from Farranree in Cork, and Linda O'Flynn, from Hollyhill in the city, both aged 32, are on trial at the Central Criminal Court in Cork charged with the murder of Michael Foley.

The trial has previously heard that both accused blame the other for the injuries suffered by Mr Foley. They both deny murder.

Mr Foley was found dead in the kitchen of his home in Annville Housing Complex in Barrett's Place, Macroom, Co Cork on February 6, 2024.

The jury yesterday heard evidence from Assistant State Pathologist Dr Margaret Bolster. She said that she attended at the home of Mr Foley on the evening of February 6, 2024.
