Summary

The Central Criminal Court trial of Feri Anghel, who is charged with the alleged murder of Ioan Artene Bob, continues before Mr Justice Paul Burns. Anghel denies the charge. Pathologist Dr Margot Bolster testified that Bob, found beaten in Sean Walsh Park in 2018, died from very severe blunt-force trauma, global brain damage, and bilateral lung collapse. She stated injuries were consistent with kicking and stamping, noting nine separated ribs and extensive bruising. Cross-examination suggested some injuries could result from punches, though Dr Bolster maintained the widespread nature indicated greater force. Witness Pavel Stegarescu, a supervisor, stated Anghel appeared unharmed and quiet during work trips on April 12 and 13, 2018. Another witness, Marzana Jurzak, who found Bob, reported he held up four fingers, which she interpreted as indicating four attackers. The trial is ongoing.
