Teen Refused Bail Charged With Murder Of Tipperary Man Met On Grindr.

A 19-year-old teenager has been charged with the murder of Tipperary resident Mr Ian Walsh, latter found dead in his Carrick-on-Suir home, in Co. Tipperary, on August 4th last.

Mr Nathan Hanlon, allegedly, is understood to have met the 49-year-old victim on the dating application ‘Grindr’, before Mr Walsh picked him up in the early hours of August 2nd last.

Mr Walsh’s body, sadly, was later discovered with multiple stab wounds in his bathroom. Gardaí have also not established, as yet, a motive for the crime, which reportedly showed no signs of being premeditated.

The High Court heard evidence linking Mr Hanlon to the scene, including fingerprints, DNA on clothing, and CCTV showing him leaving the estate with bags that Gardaí believe were later discarded in the River Suir in Tipperary.
Items located following a search at his family home also contained traces of blood, though the suspected murder weapon has not, as yet, been recovered.

Gardaí opposed bail, citing the seriousness of the charge and strength of the gathered evidence.
Ms Justice Siobhán Lankford refused Mr Hanlon’s bail application, adjourning the case until later this month.
