Cork Murder Trial: 30 Stab Wounds | Dublin News

A shocking murder trial unfolds in Cork as Michael Foley, found dead in his Macroom home with 30 stab and slash wounds, faces a grim courtroom. The prosecution reveals a brutal scene: 11 deep stab wounds to chest and abdomen, 19 slashes to the head, defensive wounds on his arm, plus 23 blunt force injuries—all while Foley was intoxicated, with alcohol levels over four times the legal limit. Dr. Margot Bolster, the assistant state pathologist, confirms death was caused by blood loss and shock, with injuries consistent with a single-edged knife. The defense questions whether alcohol impaired Foley’s ability to defend himself, while the pathologist admits she can’t determine if multiple attackers were involved or the exact sequence of wounds. The trial continues. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
