A Moville man has appeared in court accused of brandishing a weapon in anger, making a threat and assault.<\/p>\n
Iliia Biletskyi, of Riverwood, Moville, appeared before Buncrana District Court on three separate serious charges.<\/p>\n
The Book of Evidence was served on the 19-year-old defendant, who was accompanied in court by a Ukrainian interpreter, who relayed the proceedings to him.<\/p>\n
The charges, which will be dealt with at the Circuit Court, follow an alleged incident at Riverwood, Moville, on October 29, 2024.<\/p>\n
Mr Biletskyi is charged with producing a box-cutting Stanley knife contrary to Section 11 of the Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act, 1990.<\/p>\n
He is also accused of making a threat to kill or cause serious harm under Section 5 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act, 1997. The defendant is separately charged with a Section 2 assault under the same Act. <\/p>\n
Buncrana-based Garda Brandon Wilkie gave evidence in court of having served the Book of Evidence on Mr Biletskyi in the presence of an interpreter.<\/p>\n
Defence solicitor Carrie Hegarty made an application for an adjournment so that her client may \u201cconsider a signed guilty plea\u201d before the case proceeds to Letterkenny Circuit Court next year.<\/p>\n
Judge Emile Daly adjourned the matter back to Buncrana District Court on January 8, 2026 to allow time for that to happen.<\/p>\n
