Man admits attempt to rob after carpark tryst

A 34-year-old man pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of attempting to rob a man after meeting him through the fabguys.com website for a tryst in a carpark.

Solicitor Frank Buttimer said some of the facts as set out by the prosecution would be disputed.

Inspector Ronan Kennelly said the injured party was trying to run away from the accused, Derek Budden, but fell and dropped his phone.
