Man refused bail in iron bar assault case in Cork

A man accused of carrying out a serious assault on a housemate with an iron bar, this week, testified yesterday he had “a list of people I would take out of existence”.

Judge Leo Malone refused to grant bail to the accused man, Olumatemilorun Jimoh, and acceded to an application by the defence solicitor John Hussey to have the accused psychiatrically assessed while in prison.

The 21-year-old defendant smiled to himself from time to time during his unsuccessful application for bail.
