A 28-year-old woman was strangled to death in a Cork apartment on New Year’s Day 2023; her partner denies murder, claiming self-defense.
A 28-year-old woman, Bruna Fonseca, was manually strangled in a Cork apartment on January 1, 2023, shortly after celebrating New Year’s Eve, a murder trial at Cork’s Central Criminal Court has heard.
Miller Pacheco, 32, of Brazil, denies murdering her, claiming he restrained her during a struggle after she hit him and tried to leave his locked flat.
The postmortem by Assistant State Pathologist Dr. Margaret Bolster confirmed death by asphyxia due to manual strangulation, with extensive neck bruising and over 60 injuries, including a broken nail.
Pacheco said he was suffering from depression and panic attacks and had consumed five vodkas with energy drinks.
The prosecution argues the injuries indicate deliberate strangulation, while the defense maintains it was a self-defense incident.
The trial continues.
