The 36-year-old Patrick Murphy from Drumcairn Parade, Tallaght, who is currently without a job, is set to request bail next week. He is facing charges for allegedly murdering 20-year-old Jordan Rowan, also known as Pakenham, in a stabbing incident in Drumcairn Avenue, Tallaght. The incident occurred during the early morning hours of July 26th and led to Jordan’s untimely demise in the Drumcairn Estate. Murphy, when charged, expressed his remorse, stating he was truly sorry and hadn’t intended for things to turn out this way.
Following a swift court hearing in Dublin District Court on July 27th, he was held in custody. Due to the severity of the charges levelled against him, the application for bail could only be processed at the High Court in Cloverhill, where it was registered for Tuesday and prioritised to be heard on September 3rd next.
Murphy, who was unemployed at the time of the incident, had previously been provided legal aid. The victim, Rowan, was the first-born of four children from a family residing in the Rossfield region of Tallaght, roughly a kilometre away from where the fatal incident transpired.
