Schoolboy remanded in connection with murder

A schoolboy charged with murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of a Leaving Certificate student last May has been remanded by the Dublin Children’s Court pending the preparation of the book of evidence in the case.

Sean Nolan (aged 18) from Griffith Court, Fairview, in Dublin died following a row on May 26 last.

A 17-year-old boy, who cannot be identified because he is a juvenile, was last week charged with the murder of Nolan, at Waterloo Road, in Dublin 4.

The murder charge is to proceed on indictment in the Central Criminal Court.

Another charge for producing a 10-inch bread knife and a six-inch kitchen knife during a dispute is also to proceed.

The south Dublin teenager, who was dressed in a dark suit, with a white shirt and navy blue tie, remained silent during the brief proceedings today morning where Judge Ann Ryan granted the State time to allow the book of evidence in the case to be prepared.

The boy, who is on bail, was accompanied to court by his parents. He was remanded to appear again on November 5 next, when he is to be served with the book of evidence and returned for trial.

The deceased student’s parents were also present at the court today.
