A man has been remanded on continuing bail in connection to an alleged assault at a Kerry refugee centre.
Alexic Shenduk appeared before Judge David Waters at Killarney District Court recently.
The Ukrainian refugee faces one charge of assault causing harm in relation to an alleged incident at The Purple Heather, Gap of Dunloe, Beaufort.
It’s alleged that at around 9.30pm on Saturday December 16th, Alexic Shenduk slashed the upper left arm of another man, at The Purple Heather, Beaufort.
Judge David Waters asked what was the delay in the case, as it has been before the court since 2023.
Sergeant Stephen O’Brien advised that an updated medical report is sought on the injured party, and presented the Judge with photographs of the injuries.
The man was taken to University Hospital Kerry, where he was treated for an 11cm laceration to his upper left arm and received 40 stitches.
Mr Shenduk’s solicitor, Padraig O’Connell said he’d like to remind the court that the incident occurred in the home of the accused, who was awoken from his sleep.
53-year-old Mr Shenduk, is a medical surgeon from the Donetsk region of Ukraine, who fled the war.
Judge Waters remanded the father of 2 on continuing bail, to appear before Killarney District Court on July 16th for the book of evidence to be served.
