Sister to stand €2,000 bail for teen charged over fatal shooting

THE teenage sister of a 16-year-old boy charged with the murder of Dubliner Aidan O’Kane, who was shot dead near his home on September 7 last, is to stand bail for him, the Children’s Court heard yesterday.

Widower and father-of-one, Aidan O’Kane, a mechanic, aged 50, died following a row with teenagers near his home at Shelmalier Road, in East Wall, Dublin. He was fatally wounded in the stomach in a laneway between Shelmalier Road and Bargy Road, not far from his house.

The 16-year-old boy, who cannot be identified because he is a juvenile, was charged at the Children’s Court in Smithfield three days later.
