Fisherman found not guilty of murder of Cork dad-of-two in Australia

32-year-old Charles John McCarthy, a Cork father-of-two who had been living in Perth for a number of years.
Andrew Doan, aged 35, was accused of fatally stabbing Charles John McCarthy, aged 32, from Upper Aghada, in the head with a screwdriver during a fight next to Perth’s Swan River in 2017.
After a brief deliberation, jurors found Doan not guilty of both murder and an alternative charge of manslaughter today following a trial in the Supreme Court of Western Australia.
There were gasps and tears when the verdict was handed down.
Mr McCarthy’s brother Dan and twin sisters Siobhan and Sinead had travelled from their home in Cork to watch the trial.
