A 59-YEAR old Limerick man has appeared at Limerick District Court charged with the murder of a Romanian national in the city last Wednesday.
Desmond Coyle, who is originally from Garryowen but with an address at Apartment 8, 10 Davis Street, Limerick, has been charged with the murder of 58-year-old Calo Carpaci at Roches Row, Limerick on May 24 last.
The accused was arrested, charged and cautioned by Detective Sergeant Arthur Ryan of Henry Street Garda Station on Thursday night ahead of this morning’s court appearance.
Defence solicitor Ted McCarthy, told Judge Mary Larkin that as the accused was charged with murder, a bail application could not be put before the court and was a matter for the High Court in Cloverhill.
After a legal aid certificate was granted, Mr McCarthy sought that the 59-year-old receive all necessary medical assistance at Limerick Prison.
A psychiatric examination and report relating to the accused should also be carried out Mr McCarthy said.
Desmond Coyle was remanded in custody to appear before the court, via video link, next Tuesday.
Carl Carpaci died as a result of fatal stab wounds suffered during the course of a dispute on Roches Row at lunchtime last Wednesday and was pronounced dead at University Hospital Limerick.
