Bus manslaughter accused: I am sorry about him, it was an accident

A deaf man replied “I am sorry about him, it was an accident” when he was charged with killing a man who died after he was hit by a bus in Dublin City centre.

Eoghan Dudley, aged 28, who was originally from Rathfarnham in the city’s southside, suffered horrific head injuries after he fell under a double-decker bus following an altercation at the junction of Dawson St and Nassau St last Thursday.

The deceased man had recently been living in rented accommodation in Co Wicklow and was identified two days after his death.
