A 22-year-old man has been charged gardaí in connection with the death of a young man in Wicklow on Friday.
The man is due to appear before a special sitting of Bray District Court later today.
John O’Brien from Delgany, who was also 22, died after he was attacked shortly before midnight.
His death followed a row at a party in a home nearby.
Gardaí were responding to a report of a fight on open ground at Charlesland, near Greystones when they discovered the body.
They found Mr O’Brien lying face down on the footpath at Farrankelly Road, which links the N11 and Greystones village. He had sustained fatal head injuries.
Emergency services were summoned and a local doctor attended the scene, but Mr O’Brien was pronounced dead at the side of the road.
The road and surrounding areas were closed off for examination and the Garda technical bureau was called.
Gardaí also sealed off an apartment at nearby Farrankelly Road for forensic examination.
The area was inaccessible until lunchtime on Saturday when the body was removed from the scene by hearse and taken to a nearby hospital.
Deputy State Pathologist Dr Michael Curtis also attended the crime scene and examined the body. A postmortem examination on the body has since revealed Mr O’Brien died as a result of a violent assault.
