The trial of a Tipperary man accused of killing
Offaly publican Matthew Farrell
has heard the victim died from a heart
attack as a result of blunt
force trauma to the head and face.

Eddie Wing, formerly of Roscrea, denies charges of
manslaughter and burglary at the Gaelic Bar in Daingean on April 1st 2009.

The pathology evidence is that the pain and distress of the pub robbery
most likely caused Matt Farrell to have a fatal heart attack.

The 64 year old already had a heart condition with his heart today
described in court as monstrously enlarged.

During the raid he suffered head injuries which were singled out
as the principal cause of death.

The pathologist said his posture   face down with his hands bound
behind his back with a dog lead could have been a contributory factor.

The main prosecution witness is a jailhouse informant who claims
Eddie Wing confessed to the killing when they shared a cell in the
Midlands prison.
