A 19-year-old boy was arrested yesterday morning in connection with a murder that took place in February.

It is alleged that the suspect and his three friends entered the deceased’s home armed. The alleged suspect drew a pistol, pointed at the deceased and fired a gunshot and fatally wounded the victim.

They immediately fled the scene on foot in an unknown direction. The victim was taken to the nearest hospital for attention, but died on arrival.

He is due to appear in the Athlone Magistrate court tomorrow.
