One of two Limerick brothers accused of threatening to kill three members of the same family was refused bail by the Special Criminal Court in Dublin today.
Wayne Dundon (33), of Lenihan Avenue, Limerick, is charged with threatening to kill a mother, her daughter and her son at an address at Ballinacurra Weston in Limerick in two separate incidents in March and September, 2010.
Chief Supt David Sheehan opposed a bail application on behalf of Mr Dundon, saying he believed he would commit further serious offences if released on bail.
Det Sgt Denis Treacy also opposed bail and he believed that if granted bail Mr Dundon would not appear for his trial and would interfere with witnesses if given bail.
Mr Justice Paul Butler, presiding, said that the court was satisfied that on the basis of the Chief Superintendent’s evidence there were grounds for refusing bail and therefore bail was refused.
Wayne Dundon’s younger brother John Dundon (29) of Hyde Road, Limerick, is also facing similar charges.
Both men were remanded in custody until their trial date next February.
