Murder accused tries to escape

A man charged with murdering another man in a “frenzied” knife attempted to flee Limerick District court yesterday morning.

Seconds after he was charged with the murder, Dylan Hayes, aged 20, of The Crescent, Kilteragh, Dooradoyle, made a bolt from the holding area in the court.

However, Mr Hayes failed to get through a locked door between him and the court body and several gardaí swooped in to restrain him.
