A man has been charged with assault causing serious harm after the death of another man following an alleged incident in Co Roscommon on New Year\u2019s Day. <\/p>\n
Yevhen Shutko (46) appeared in Roscommon District Court on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
The court was told there was an alleged serious assault in Ballaghaderreen, in the early hours of New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n
Jordon Newin, aged in his 30s, was brought to Sligo University Hospital and later transferred to Beaumont Hospital, where he has since passed away.<\/p>\n
Shutko, who is Ukrainian and lives in Co Roscommon after coming to Ireland nearly two years ago, was charged with assault causing serious harm, under section 4 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Persons Act.<\/p>\n
Garda Brendan McGrath, from Castlerea Garda station, told the court he was charged at 9.51pm on Saturday, to which he replied: \u201cIt was definitely not intentional … I was defending myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
The court heard further charges may be forthcoming, given that a man has now died, as the State awaits directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions.<\/p>\n
Solicitor Br\u00edd Miller, on behalf of the accused, applied for bail.<\/p>\n
But Judge James Faughnan refused and remanded him in custody until Friday\u2019s sitting of Ballaghaderreen District Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been charged with assault causing serious harm after the death of another man following an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219457,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[9,10,18,13,14,6,19,17,11,12,15,16,5,7,8],"class_list":{"0":"post-267749","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ireland","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-featured-news","12":"tag-featurednews","13":"tag-headlines","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-latest-news","17":"tag-latestnews","18":"tag-main-news","19":"tag-mainnews","20":"tag-news","21":"tag-top-stories","22":"tag-topstories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115840403601484531","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267749"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267749\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219457"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
