Police granted extra time to question man

An officer told the court that if the 36 hours were granted, investigators intended to use the time to gather further evidence, obtain witness statements and conduct further interviews with the 23-year-old alleged killer where the evidence will be put to him.

The senior officer confirmed to the suspect’s defence solicitor that a number of devices have been sent for examination, adding that “it is very much a PSNI investigation, assisted by our colleagues in the gardaí (Irish police)”.

Granting the police application, District Judge Rosie Watters said it was her view that “the fact it’s a murder that happened in the Republic actually makes it just that little bit stronger”.

Gardaí have appealed to anyone with information about the attack, including those who have mobile phone recordings or dashcam footage in the vicinity of Dawson Street and St Stephen’s Green, to contact them.
