A chef who is on trial for the murder of a man who was found headless and dismembered in Cork told police in Romania that two men armed with a machete and a knife forced him to put the severed remains of the deceased into a bag and then under a bush in the garden of a derelict house.
Ionut Cosmin Nicholescu, 30, who is a native of Branistea Village, Dambovita County, is on trial charged with the murder of 64-year-old Frankie Dunne between December 27 and December 28, 2019 at Castlegreine House, Boreenmanna Road in Cork city.
Mr Nicholescu worked at the Silver Quay pub in Cork from 2016 until late December 2019. He subsequently returned to his native Romania.
