Aaron Babington was charged with assault causing harm to Jason Butler (32) at the Grand Parade, Cork earlier this week
“This is a very serious incident where the injured party received life-threatening injuries. He remains in a critical condition at Cork University Hospital. It happened in broad daylight in an area with a large number of pedestrians present, including children,” said Det Garda Russell.
He alleged the accused had been witnessed by several people assaulting Mr Butler while the incident had also been captured on CCTV. “I believe there is strong evidence that on June 14th, 2023 at 7.38pm, the injured party was in the company of the accused and his partner and that he was approached by the accused and stabbed in the neck with a broken bottle,” said Det Garda Russell.
Judge Olann Kelleher said it was a serious matter and after hearing all submissions from both prosecution and defence, he refused bail and remanded the defendant to appear in court again on June 22nd by video link. Gardaí confirmed at 2pm that Mr Butler, a native of Castleredmond, Midleton in east Cork who had been availing of homeless services in Cork city for some time, died at Cork University Hospital around 1pm. Gardaí have now requested the services of the State Pathologist’s Office.
