Prosecution closes case in Waterford murder trial

The Prosecution closed its case yesterday - in the trial of a Tipperary man accused of murdering an elderly man in Co. Waterford.

28-year-old Ross Outram of Ferryland, Waterford Road in Clonmel denies murdering 90-year-old Paddy Lyons two years ago.

The accused told Gardaí he fought back - after the elderly man had hit him with a walking stick and a shovel.

The assistant State Pathologist Dr Margaret Bolster, told the trial the deceased man suffered 'multiple blows' with a 'blunt weapon'.
