Murder accused heard saying "get that in to you", jury hears

Summary

In a Central Criminal Court trial, Gary Watson, aged 35, pleaded not guilty to the murder of Warren O'Connor, 24, which occurred on 16 January 2010 at Hole in the Wall Road, Donaghmede. Prosecutor James Dwyer SC presented evidence that a noise dispute at a neighbouring apartment led to an altercation involving Watson, the Coyles, and O'Connor. The confrontation escalated in the car park, where Watson allegedly brandished a knife. Witnesses, including a neighbour named Mr Foy, testified that Watson shouted "get that into you" as he stabbed O'Connor. Pathology confirmed a fatal stab wound to the neck. The trial, presided over by Mr Justice Michael White, is expected to continue for over two weeks with a jury of twelve. The prosecution seeks to prove Watson's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The case remains in the early trial stage.
