The parents of a Ukrainian man who lost his life following a violent incident in Cork city last week attended Cork District Court on Wednesday to see the man accused of his murder appear by video link from prison. Judge Mary Dorgan remanded Jonathan Hennessy in custody until April 8. The funeral of the deceased was held in Cork on Tuesday, and members of the man’s family travelled to attend. Detective Garda Kevin Motherway gave evidence of arresting and charging Jonathan Hennessy last week. Eddie Burke, solicitor, was appointed to represent the accused on free legal aid, after stating Jonathan Hennessy was on disability allowance and had no other income.
