A man who attacked a father of two with a sword in a County Cork car park has been found guilty of murder.

Ian Baitson died in hospital in March last year, four days after being injured in the assault on the Newtown Road in Cobh.

The 33 year old had a “sub-total amputation” of his left leg and suffered catastrophic bleeding, the court heard.

Dylan Scannell, 31, of O’Rahilly Street in Cobh, had pleaded guilty to manslaughter but the jury found him guilty of murder.

Mr Baitson, who worked as a chef, died at Cork University Hospital on 19 March 2024.

Tattoo artist Scannell now faces a mandatory life sentence.

The jury at the Central Criminal Court in Cork took just over four hours to deliver their verdict, according to Irish broadcaster RTÉ.

It reported that the judge excused them from any further jury service for the next five years.
