Michael Andrecut stands trial for Tristan Sherry's murder, with defense citing provocation by Sherry's earlier killing of Andrecut's mentor.

Michael Andrecut, 23, is on trial for the murder of Tristan Sherry during a Christmas Eve party in Dublin. His lawyer argues that Sherry's murder of Andrecut's "father figure," Jason Hennessy Snr, at the same event provoked him to a "total loss of control," potentially reducing the charge to manslaughter if the court agrees. Andrecut and two others deny the murder charges, while three more are accused of violent disorder.
