Two men and a teenager have appeared in court in Co Wicklow charged in connection with the death of a 36-year-old man in Bray earlier this year.
William Moorehouse, who had an address at the Half Moon Halting Site just outside Bray, died in the playground at Ballywaltrim, Bray, on 19 January.
Patrick Fitzpatrick, James Fell and the teenager, who cannot be named because he is still a juvenile, appeared at Arklow District Court.
Mr Fitzpatrick, 33, with an address at Old Court in Bray, is charged with murder.
Mr Fell, 24 and of Fassaroe in Bray, and the juvenile, were both charged with production of articles likely to cause harm and violent disorder.
Detective Garda Ger Brennan told the court that he charged Mr Fitzpatrick at Bray Garda Station with murder and violent disorder just before 10pm last night.
He said the accused said "bullshit" to the murder charge and "I just want to talk to my solicitor" after he was charged with violent disorder.
He was remanded in custody to appear tomorrow at Bray District Court by video link.
There was no application for bail as that cannot be granted at the District Court for a murder charge.
His solicitor asked that he be given medical attention at Cloverhill Prison.
Detective Garda Brian Coen from Greystones said he charged Mr Fell at Greystones Garda Station with violent disorder and production of an article.
He said the accused made no reply to the first charge but said "that's bullshit, that is" to the second. The maximum sentence is ten years.
Det Gda Coen said there were strong objections to bail based on the seriousness of the offence and the strength of the evidence against the accused.
Defence solicitor Mark Maguire, for Mr Fell, suggested the issue of identity may not be certain and would be a matter for the trial.
He said his client is working, protests his innocence and can provide an address.
Judge David Kennedy granted bail on condition the accused stays away from his co-accused, stays out of Bray save for court appearances, signs on daily at Coolock Garda Station and provides an address and phone number.
He must be under curfew from 11pm to 7am.
Mr Fell was remanded on bail to appear at Bray District Court on 16 June.
Detective Garda John Hall of Bray Garda Station gave evidence of charging the teenager just before midnight with violent disorder and producing an article.
He said the accused made no reply.
He said there were objections to bail because of the seriousness of the charges, which carry maximum jail terms of ten years for violent disorder and seven years for production of an article.
Mark Maguire, solicitor for the teenager, said his client maintains he was not involved in the incident himself, though he admits he was at the scene.
He added that because the accused is a juvenile, there is a higher duty of care from the court.
He said the boy is resident in a care home where there is appropriate support.
He was remanded in custody to Oberstown Children Detention Campus to appear tomorrow at Bray District Court by video link.
