A Ukrainian man charged with an alleged assault causing serious harm in the early hours of New Year’s Day, which resulted in the death of a man in Ballaghaderreen, has been further remanded on bail pending DPP directions.
The court previously heard that Yevhen Shutko (46), with an address at Loughlynn, was claiming self-defence when charged with the alleged assault.
He was granted bail in January by Judge James Faughnan at Ballaghadereen District Court, when independent surety and bail totalling €3,000 were furnished to the court.
Following the alleged assault, the injured party was taken to Sligo University Hospital before being transferred to Beaumont Hospital, where he later died.
Sergeant Mark Mahon, for the State, informed the court that DPP directions were still awaited and the accused man was further remanded on bail to July 10th.
