Man remanded in custody over alleged death threat to ex-partner, Naas

A man was accused of issuing a death threat against his ex-partner, according to reports of a Naas District Court case in Co Kildare. On Thursday 23 May 2024 he appeared by video-link before Judge Desmond Zaidan in a private, in-camera session, and he was remanded in custody. His barrister, Aisling Murphy, told the court he had previously been refused bail and intends to seek High Court bail.
