Breaking: Man to appear in court in relation to Donegal death

A man, in his 50s, has been charged in relation to the death of a man in Donegal at the weekend.

“He will appear before Carrick-on-Shannon District Court today.

“The post mortem has since been completed, the results of which are not being released for operational reasons.”

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses and those with information to come forward.
