Man faces manslaughter charge after Sydney death

A MAN has been charged with the manslaughter of Gearóid Walsh (pictured) in Sydney just hours after the 23-year-old Dubliner’s mother made a heartfelt plea for her son’s attacker to hand himself into police.

The 28-year-old from Sydney handed himself in on Friday and was charged with manslaughter, reckless wounding and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He was due to appear court in the early hours of this morning, Irish time.

Earlier on Friday Gearóid’s mother Tressa Walsh said she did not want to see the man involved in her son’s attack sent to jail.
