Yevhen Shutko, 46, was charged with assault causing serious harm to Jorden Newin on New Year's Day.

A Ukrainian man accused of a serious assault in Ballaghderreen, which led to the death of another man, will re-appear in court this morning.

Yevhen Shutko, 46, was charged with assault causing serious harm to Jorden Newin on New Year's Day.

Yevhen Shutko was charged at a previous sitting of Roscommon District Court following an alleged assault in the early hours of New Year's Day.

Following the alleged incident, Jorden Newin, aged in his 30s, was transferred to Sligo University Hospital and then to Beaumont Hospital, where he later died.

Garda Brendan McGrath previously told the court that Mr Shutko claimed self defence when charged with the offence.

Garda McGrath told January's sitting in Ballaghaderreen that he anticipated directions from the DPP shortly in relation to the matter.

He objected to bail.

With no further charges forthcoming, Mr Shutko was released on bail subject to conditions.

He ordered that €3,000 be lodged in court and that Mr Shutko surrender his passport.
