David Mahon, charged with murdering his partner's son, refused bail variation to allow him travel to Spain
Summary
David Mahon, 44, charged with murdering 23‑year‑old Dean Fitzpatrick on 26 May 2013, was denied a bail variation that would have let him travel to Spain for two weeks. He had previously been allowed to travel in September, but the court refused the new request. The judge cited concerns from Detective Sergeant Eddie Carroll that Mahon is a flight risk, especially as his trial is set to begin in April 2016. Mahon may apply again for bail.
