A 19-year-old teen has been charged with the murder of Mr Ian Walsh, latter whose body was discovered at his home in Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary, earlier this month.
Mr Nathan Hanlon, with an address at Castle View, Ballyneale, Carrick-on-Suir, appeared before a special sitting of Clonmel District Court last night.
Sergeant Mr Denis Ryan, of Clonmel Garda Station, informed the court that he arrested and charged Mr Hanlon with the murder of Mr Walsh, at Ravenswood, Cregg Road, Carrick-on-Suir, on August 2nd. The accused is understood to have made no reply when cautioned, Sergeant Ryan stated.
Defence solicitor Mr John M. Joy applied for free legal aid and a psychological assessment for his client.
