Teenager in court over Dublin restaurant killing

Jonas Kabangu appeared in court on Thursday

An 18-year-old man has been charged in connection with an attack at a restaurant in Dublin last month in which two men died.

Jonas Kabangu appeared in court on Thursday morning charged with violent disorder for using or threatening to use unlawful violence.

Tristan Sherry, 26, was a gunman in an attack at Browne's Steakhouse on Main Street in Blanchardstown when he died.

James Hennessy Snr, 48, was shot and seriously injured at the restaurant and died 11 days later in hospital.

A police officer told the court Mr Kabangu made no reply after he was charged and cautioned.

An application preventing the accused's address being published because of safety concerns was accepted due to the potential of a retaliatory attack.

The judge remanded Mr Kabangu on bail, subject to a number of conditions, including a curfew and reporting to a garda station twice a week.

He also ordered him to stay away from an address in Corduff in Dublin and to have no contact with nine unnamed individuals, the names of whom were submitted to the court.

The judge also granted free legal aid.

Mr Kabangu, who made no comment during the brief appearance, is to appear in court again at a later date for directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
