Student faces conspiracy charges after teen’s killing

AN 18-year-old student appeared before Judge James O’Connor at Killarney District Court, yesterday, on two conspiracy charges surrounding the unlawful killing of teenager Stephen Lyne in the town last year.

Martin Ollo, of Whitebridge Manor, Killarney, is charged that he and Shane O’Regan conspired together to assault Stephen Lyne, causing him harm contrary to Section 3 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997.

The youth named as a fellow conspirator on the charge, Shane O’Regan, died earlier this year after a fall in a house in Tralee.
