Youth to be tried for brutal Polish murders

ON THE day that a Dublin youth charged with the murders of Polish nationals Pawel Kalite and Marius Szwajkos was sent forward for trial to the Central Criminal Court it has emerged that a fund of €150,000 will be given to the families of the two Polish men.

The fund was set up by the company where Mr Kalite, 29, and his friend Mr Szwajkos, 27, worked. Both men died after they were attacked on Benbulben Road, in Drimnagh, in Dublin a short distance from where they lived, on February 23 last.

Mr Szwajkos died from his injuries in St James’s Hospital two days later. Mr Kalite died at the same hospital in the early hours of February 28.
