John Paul Cawley of Ardoughter, Ballyduff, Co. Kerry has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Bruno Lemes de Souza at Shronowen Bog, Tullamore, Listowel, Co. Kerry in February 2012.

The Central Criminal Court has heard that 28 year-old victim had called to a house at Ballyduff in connection with a car, but that matters "got out of hand" resulting in him being assaulted.

Mr De Souza's body was found a number of weeks later in the bog with his hands tied and several knife wounds.

The trial continues today.
