THE 28 year-old man accused of the double murder in Killorglin last year, has been found guilty in Tralee this afternoon.

Aurimas Andruska had pleaded not guilty to the murder of Jolanta Lubiene and Enrika Lubyte at their home at 9 Langford Downs, Killorglin on June 16 last year. The 27 year old mother and her eight year old daughter were stabbed to death.

The jury at the Tralee sitting of the Central Criminal Court took four and a half hours to reach their verdict to find him guilty on both counts.
