File sent to DPP over fatal truck stop attack

Gardaí have submitted a detailed file to the DPP in relation to a fatal attack on a man at a truck stop in Cork earlier this year.

Coroner for North Cork, Dr Michael Kennedy, was told yesterday that an extensive Garda file in relation to the death of Slovakian national Ludovit Pastor near a filling station in Fermoy last February is now being considered by the DPP and a decision is awaited.

Inspector Joe O’Connor was granted an adjournment of the inquest pending a decision from the DPP, and the conclusion of any possible criminal proceedings which may be recommended.
