The barrister for a man on trial for allegedly raping his wife has told the jury she has motives to "“lie and exaggerate”".
He also accused her of making things up to make him seem like a “homicidal and suicidal lunatic”.
The alleged victim, whose identity is protected, claims her husband head butted her during a row at their Dublin home on May 2nd 2014.
A few weeks after the alleged assault, she claims he threatened to cut her face off with a knife before raping her.
