Man in court over young father's murder
A man was remanded in custody today in connection with the murder of a father of two.
Robert Egan was charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life at Oakview Way, Hartstown, on July 4 last year.
The 26-year-old, of Dromheath Avenue, Mulhuddart, Dublin 15, was remanded in custody for three days.
The accused was arrested by detectives investigating the murder of Wayne Doherty.
The innocent 32-year-old father was shot dead outside his parents’ home in Hartstown after he attempted to stop a dispute.
Mr Egan appeared briefly before Judge Patrick McMahon, sitting at a District Court in Blanchardstown.
The court heard the suspect made no reply when charged and no application for bail was made.
He will reappear in Cloverhill Courthouse on Thursday.
