Overview
- Miller Pacheco, 32, pleads not guilty to murdering Bruna Fonseca, 28, at a Liberty Street flat in Cork on 1 January 2023.
- Her niece testified he followed them at a ticketed party in the Oyster Tavern and recorded Bruna dancing with another man.
- Multiple residents and a nearby friar recounted a loud pre-dawn scream and voices, with one witness hearing the word "stop" several times.
- The jury heard Bruna’s earlier texts saying she found a knife in his bag and that she had taken it because she feared he might self-harm.
- A cousin said the accused first denied involvement then said "I choked her," while the defence questioned the translation and said he was in shock; the trial is expected to last up to three weeks.
