A 40-year-old man has been charged with the murder of 24-year-old Jamie Kavanagh, who was found with serious injuries following an assault in a Dublin hostel on Harrington Street on Wednesday morning. Kavanagh later died from his injuries. Robert Murphy has been remanded in custody and appeared in court dressed in navy sweater, grey tracksuit bottoms and black shoes, remaining silent throughout. Members of Kavanagh’s family were also present in court. The District Court does not have jurisdiction to consider bail for a murder case which requires a High Court application. Murphy will face his next hearing via video link on 26 April.
