DUBLIN - Deaf man charged with manslaughter of bus crash victim 'very sorry.' A Deaf man has apologised for the death of a man who was hit by a bus following an alleged roadside altercation.
Edward Connors, who is profoundly Deaf, has been charged with the manslaughter of Eoghan Dudley. The 28-year-old died last Thursday evening after suffering severe head injuries in the incident in Dublin city centre.
Connors, 29, who has been living in a homeless hostel in Dublin, was brought before the city’s District Court where proceedings were translated through a sign language interpreter.
Detective Garda Conor O’Braonain told the court that, when Connors was charged at Pearse Street Garda Station on Saturday night, he replied: “I’m very sorry about him. It was an accident.”
Judge David McHugh remanded him in custody until December 13, when he will be brought before Cloverhill courthouse.
