A MAN accused of knife and assault charges in Limerick City last Friday (February 9) was this morning further remanded in custody.
Chinonso Igboanusi (28), of no fixed abode, appeared before Limerick District Court this Friday morning (February 16), charged with two counts of possession of a knife, in which it is alleged that he exposed the knife in public places.
He is separately charged with one count of assault on a woman.
All the charges relate to three separate alleged incidents in Limerick City and the Corbally area, just outside the city.
Mr Igboanusi appeared again before Judge Patricia Harney at Limerick District Court this morning (Friday).
Court heard from the accused’s solicitor that an address had been obtained from Mr Igboanusi for his family in Cork, and sought that the matter be put back for inquiries to be made with his family, and for directions to be received from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Mr Igboanusi’s solicitor Sarah Ryan said that an application for bail would be made at another sitting of the District Court Tuesday.
Mr Igboanusi appeared in court in person before Judge Harney for the short hearing.
Judge Harney further remanded Mr Igboanusi in custody to appear before the court again on Tuesday (February 20).
