The youth, aged 17 according to his charge, appeared at the Children\u2019s Court today when the case was adjourned pending directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). <\/p>\n
His earlier two hearings saw him surrounded by garda\u00ed in helmets and protective gear. However, those measures were not required at today’s latest court appearance, his first conducted via video link from a juvenile remand facility.<\/p>\n
He spoke up, saying, \u201cI want to know about the evidence from Brussels\u201d, after Judge Paul Kelly was informed that garda\u00ed have contacted Somalian authorities via the embassy in Belgium.<\/p>\n

Vadym, 17, was stabbed during an incident at about 11 am on October 16 at a 24-hour facility in an apartment building in Donaghmede.<\/p>\n
He had been placed there alongside other young people separated from their families and seeking international protection.<\/p>\n
Vadym recently graduated from high school in Kyiv, travelled to Ireland and arrived about three days before he was fatally injured.<\/p>\n
Emergency services responded to a call for assistance at the premises. The boy was pronounced deceased at the scene.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the proceedings, an order was made that the accused would receive urgent psychiatric and medical attention.<\/p>\n
Today, for his third court appearance, Detective Sergeant Mark Quill asked for a four-week adjournment.<\/p>\n
He told Judge Kelly that the case file was at an advanced stage, but that important post-mortem and forensic reports were still awaited.<\/p>\n

Dressed in a red pullover, black pants and white gloves, the accused, in a video link room at the Oberstown Detention Campus in Dublin, engaged with the proceedings with the aid of an interpreter in the courtroom.<\/p>\n
Defence counsel Doireann McDonagh told him that this adjournment had been discussed with his solicitor, and that there was consent for the case to go back four weeks.<\/p>\n
The accused, who sat fidgeting with his hair during the hearing, confirmed he agreed to an adjournment until December 16.<\/p>\n
Judge Kelly remanded him in continuing custody to appear on that date by video link for the DPP\u2019S directions.<\/p>\n
Detective Sergeant Quill added: \u201cEnquiries remain ongoing in relation to documentation. We have had open dialogue with the Somalian authorities, located in Brussels, that is the embassy we have to go through.<\/p>\n
They are carrying out enquiries on our behalf; documents have to be verified by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Co-operations in Somalia to verify authenticity.<\/p>\n
They have not provided us with a time frame; it has to be kept on top of.\u201d<\/p>\n
At that point, the accused replied through his interpreter that he wanted to know about that evidence.<\/p>\n
The judge explained that the sergeant was engaging with the embassy in Brussels. Detective Sergeant Quill added that there was a bureaucratic issue as a document had been issued by a member state rather than the federal government.<\/p>\n
A solicitor for Tusla, the child and family agency, also attended the proceedings. The youth cannot be identified due to the Children Act’s reporting restrictions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The youth, aged 17 according to his charge, appeared at the Children\u2019s Court today The youth, aged 17…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147822,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-147821","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147821\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
