Man charged with Roy Collins murder
A man has appeared in court and has been charged with the murder of 25 year old father of two, Roy Collins.
James Dillon (23) with no fixed abode was brought to Limerick District Court at 1630 hrs for the court hearing which lasted no longer than two minutes.
During the hearing, Detective Garda Paul Madden gave evidence of formally charging Dillon with the murder. The court was told that he made no reply when charged.
Solicitor John Herbert was assigned to Dillon’s defence, and Judge Tom O’Donnell remanded him in custody until April 22nd, noting that the question of bail was a matter for the High Court due to the seriousness of the charge.
Meanwhile, two other people who were taken in for questioning in relation to the murder, a 19 year old man and a woman, were both released without charge.
