A teenager has been charged with the murder of an Italian man in Co Offaly.

Bruno Rolandi was found with stab wounds at a house last year.

The 56-year-old was discovered at a house in Green Road, Ballymoran, Edenderry on November 19th 2017.

An 18-year-old Offaly man was charged with his murder on Monday morning.

Alexander Whelan, of Green Road in Edenderry, appeared before Tullamore District Court.

As it is a murder charge, bail can only be sought at the High Court.

The 18-year-old has been remanded in custody.

He is due to appear before Cloverhill District Court in Dublin on Thursday.
