Teenager pleads guilty to assault charges

An 18 year-old man who was convicted in April of the manslaughter of Brian Mulvaney today pleaded guilty to charges arising from two other assaults he carried out on the same night.

Last month a jury convicted Stephen Aherne of the manslaughter of 19 year-old Mr Mulvaney, who died after being chased and beaten to death after a party in Templeogue in Dublin on March 11, 2000.
