Photograph: Collins CourtsTwo men have been charged with violent disorder and assault following the death of a man who was seriously injured during an alleged “unprovoked assault” in Athlone, Co Westmeath.
Sean Munnelly , of Irishtown, Athlone and hardware store employee David Higgins , of St Paul’s Terrace, Athlone, appeared before Judge Alan Mitchell at a late special sitting of Mullingar District Court on Sunday night. The detective sergeant objected to a bail application made by Mr Higgins due to the seriousness of the incident. He told Judge Mitchell that Mr Connolly suffered “punches and kicks” during the alleged attack which was captured on CCTV.
He accepted it was alleged that Mr Higgins was involved in the earlier part of the incident and he was not known to the co-accused.
