A 33-year-old man has appeared in court charged with causing serious harm to a 49-year-old man who was found dead at a house in Lucan in Co Dublin.
Tomas Cypas with an address at Old Bridge Park in Lucan was brought before Blanchardstown District Court in connection with the death of Juris Kokenbergs.
The court heard how Mr Cypas was arrested on Monday by gardaí after they were alerted to an incident at a house in Lucan, where Mr Kokenbergs was found and pronounced dead at the scene.
The court heard Mr Kokenbergs had suffered serious injuries to his head.
Mr Cypas is charged with assault causing serious harm to Mr Kokenbergs on a date between 26 October and 28 October.
Garda Neil McGrath from Lucan Garda Station gave evidence of arrest charge and caution and told the court the accused made no reply when he was charged and cautioned last night at 10.41pm.
Gardaí said they objected to bail based on the serious nature of the charge.
An application for bail “with very strict conditions” made by the solicitor for the accused Roy O’Neill was rejected by Judge Mark O’Connell.
He was remanded in custody to appear in court again next Tuesday 5 November at Cloverhill District Court.
Judge O’Connell granted free legal aid to the accused.
