Man charged with Cork city murder
A 27-year old man has been charged with the murder of a homeless man in Cork city earlier this year. David O'Loughlin of City Gate Apartments, North Main Street appeared in court today and was remanded in custody on the charge of murdering Liam Manley last May. The body of long term Simon Community resident, Liam Manley, was found in a refuse chute at City Gate Apartments by a maintenance man when he went to clear rubbish which had been building up in the chute. The court heard today that David O'Loughlin had originally been charged with assaulting causing harm to the 59-year old but that charge was being withdrawn. He has now been charged with murder and was brought before Cork District Court today on this new charge. O'Loughlin's solicitor said that he had been in custody since May and was anxious that the case be dealt with as soon as possible. The judge remanded him in custody until November 21st to allow gardai time to prepare the Book of Evidence for his trial.
