A man charged with murdering his partner’s son has been refused a bail application to travel to Spain.

David Mahon, aged 44, is charged with murdering Dean Fitzpatrick, aged 23, on May 26, 2013, at Northern Cross on Dublin’s Malahide Rd.

Mr Mahon, of Ongar Village, Clonsilla, appeared at the Central Criminal Court yesterday where he applied to have his bail conditions varied to allow him to take a two-week trip to Spain.
