Matthias Kelly, 41, appeared at Cloverhill District Court today facing charges of attempted murder and threatening to kill following a break-in at his ex-partner's home in Dublin.
An attempted murder charge has been brought against a man accused of attacking a woman who was allegedly stabbed multiple times during a break-in at her north Dublin home. Matthias Kelly, 41, was denied bail and remanded in custody in September after being charged with assault causing harm to the complainant, who is in her 30s.
He was accused of production of a kitchen knife with a six-inch serrated blade, and burglary of her house at Newbury Lawns, Clonshaugh, Dublin 17, in the early hours of September 7 last. He also had a charge for criminally damaging the sitting room and front bedroom windows at his ex-partner's and her children's home at Millbrook Avenue in Coolock on the previous evening. He appeared again at Cloverhill District Court this afternoon when Judge Alan Mitchell noted that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had instructed gardai to charge the accused with attempted murder of the woman on September 7 and threatening to kill or cause her serious harm six days earlier. The DPP directed trial on indictment in the Central Criminal Court and that the assault allegation be withdrawn. Detective Garda Donal Bolger told Judge Mitchell that the accused replied, 'I did not attempt to murder anybody'. He had no response to the threat charge. Mr Kelly, who only spoke to his barrister during the hearing, must bring a High Court bail application if he seeks to be released pending trial. Judge Mitchell remanded him in custody pending the preparation of a book of evidence, which must be served on him before being returned to the Central Criminal Court for trial. State solicitor Rory Staines said the prosecution had received a lot of information already; it was hoped the book of evidence would be ready within six weeks. Legal aid was grante
