• Man charged with aggravated burglary and threatening to kill in Limerick city Aggravated burglary and threatening to kill · Co. Limerick

  Gardaí allege that in the early hours of June 8, a man and a woman forced their way into a man's apartment on Cecil Street, Limerick city, where the man was threatened, struck with a hammer, stabbed in the chest, and robbed. Gavin Hayes, aged 32 or 33 according to differing reports, was arrested and charged with aggravated burglary and threatening to kill, and one report also lists assault. Judge Fiona Brennan refused bail after Gardaí objected, and the DPP directed trial on indictment to Limerick Circuit Court. The latest development is that Hayes was remanded in custody to appear on 2 September 2025.
