Man charged with schoolboy’s manslaughter granted bail

A MAN charged with the manslaughter of schoolboy Toyosi Shittabey in west Dublin last Friday night has been granted bail and ordered to reappear in court later this month.

Paul Barry, aged 38, of Pearse Street appeared in Cloverhill District Court yesterday morning alongside his young brother Michael Barry, aged 23, from Pigeon House Road, Ringsend, who has been charged with possession of a hockey stick. A large number of friends and relatives of Nigerian boy Toyosi Shittabey attended the court hearing.

Toyosi Shittabey’s father Bolanle was in court – along with others who knew the 15-year-old teenager, who was fatally stabbed on Good Friday at Mount Eustace Crescent, Tyrrelstown, Dublin.
