Date Published: 24-Jan-2011
A Polish man on trial for fatally stabbing a young Claregalway shop assistant says he thinks he was trying to defend his friend after hearing anti-Polish comments.
Alexsander Nadwodny formerly of Renmore Park in Galway city, denies murdering Kieran Cunningham in June 2009 after leaving the Karma nightclub.
He says he was completely drunk but recalls walking with a knife towards a man who was shouting and pointing at him and his friend Jolanta Zlotnik from across the street.
He says she showed him a knife and told him to do something about it.
