Eoin ReynoldsA jury will begin their deliberations in the trial of a man who stabbed his housemate to death. Within minutes of the stabbing, Mr Murphy arrived at Clontarf Garda station in a blood-stained t-shirt and wearing no shoes. The professor did not believe Mr Murphy was psychotic and said that he was able to resist the killing. Mr McGillicuddy said the professor had acknowledged that having seen Dr Mullaney’s report, “his opinion that he had expressed initially was weakened”. But for the actions of Mr Murphy, he would have got up that morning and had an “otherwise unremarkable day”.
