43 killings in 4 years were by people out on bail

ALMOST 90,000 crimes including 43 homicides and 68 sexual offences have been committed by suspects out on bail since 2004, figures have revealed.

They have prompted a Fine Gael TD to call for the introduction of remand without trial for certain suspects.

Already this year, gardaí believe that people granted bail in the courts committed a total of 6,165 offences between January and June, including 250 cases of drug-dealing and 46 fraud crimes.
