A 25 year-old Lithuanian man who was convicted of murder and sentenced to life last month has been given a concurrent 18-month prison term for an assault arising from the same incident.

A Lithuanian national who fatally stabbed a Latvian man in Swords last year has been jailed for life by the Central Criminal Court after a jury found him guilty of murder.

The trial of a Lithuanian man accused of murder has reached its closing stages at the Central Criminal Court.

The jury in the trial of a Lithuanian man accused of murder has been sent home until Monday morning so matters which have arisen in its absence can be dealt with.

A Lithuanian national accused of murder allegedly told a security guard at a night club that he had "caught up" with the deceased and "stabbed him up".
