Gardaí given time for Holohan case

GARDAÍ have been given more time to prepare a Book of Evidence in the case of an engineering student charged with the manslaughter of an 11-year-old boy, because they are still awaiting the full results of forensic tests.

Cork Institute of Technology student Wayne O’Donoghue appeared in court for the fifth time yesterday on the charge of unlawfully killing Robert Holohan from Midleton, Co Cork on January 4 last.

O’Donoghue, a next door neighbour of the boy, arrived at Midleton Garda Station at 10.12am yesterday and 20 minutes later appeared in the adjoining district court.
