His brother Sean gave evidence of formally identifying the body at the city morgue while Gardai told the Court that a man has been charged in connection with the death of the journalist.

Coroner Dr. Brian Farrell gave the cause of death as a brain haemorrhage.

He then adjourned the inquest until the trial is completed.

21-year-old trainee mechanic Gary Burch of Kennington Close in Templeogue has been charged with the manslaughter of the 55-year-old.

He is in custody while the book of evidence is being prepared and is due to appear in court again later this month.
