Thomas Vallliday, of no fixed abode denies the murder of Mr McGreevy who died in hospital three days after being found by his 15-year-old son in his Ross Street flat, covered in blood, battered and bruised.
Belfast Crown Court heard that it is the prosecution case that Valliday, who not only admits fighting with Mr McGreevy, but later attacking two other men and damaging two cars, intended to kill Mr McGreevy and was guilty as charged.
Prosecuting QC Gordon Kerr said that Valliday, who gave himself up to police, "dramatically" changed his account to police from initially claiming he'd fought with Mr McGreevy outside his flat, to later finding him injured in the flat after seeing two men running from it.
