A jury has failed to reach agreement in the trial of a man accused of murdering Sligo musician Martin ‘Matt’ Kivlehan.
Keith Brady from Cartron Estate in Sligo went on trial for his murder, after his manslaughter plea wasnÂ’t accepted by the DPP.
Mr Kivlehan died after being stabbed twice in the neck at his apartment on Holborn Street in Sligo town in August 2015.
He told them he couldn't remember what happened to the knife or the clothes he was wearing.
The case will go back into the list to fix trial dates and is due to be mentioned again next Monday.
