Accused tells trial he does not remember stabbing deceased man and describes incident that led to the death as a ‘slight scuffle’
Counsel put it to the accused that three slash marks and two stab cuts on the left side of Mr Reddin’s clothing contradict Mr Lacey’s claim that he simply held the knife out to repel his attack and that the stabbing was accidental.
Mr Lacey rejected the evidence of another witness, David Howard, who said he saw the accused “straddling” Mr Reddin on the ground and “digging the knife into him”. Mr Howard previously told the trial that Mr Reddin had gone to Loughlinstown that night for a “straightener” or a “boxing match” with Mr Lacey.
Mr Lacey has told the jury that the knife was one he used in his work with the parks department of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.
