DPP file into death of farmer

GARDAÍ are to prepare a file for the DPP after a farmer died of a massive heart attack, minutes after he was allegedly assaulted during a row over land.

A senior Garda source confirmed that the file would be prepared in relation to the death last Tuesday of 65-year-old John Twomey.

The pensioner and his 68-year-old brother, Pat, had been carrying out some land reclamation works at their farm in Co Cork when a confrontation is alleged to have ensued with another man.
