Man to appear in court over Wicklow murder

A 23-year-old man will appear before Arklow District Court this morning in relation to the shooting dead last month of French national Charles Sinanapayen in Bray, Co Wicklow.

Mr Sinanapayen (32) was shot in the head on May 29th last at the apartment he shared with his partner in Richmond Hill, Fassaroe.

Mr Sinanapayen was killed when he went to the window of his apartment to investigate a disturbance. The Irish Times reports that he was shot by somebody on an external stairwell. Two men were spotted fleeing the scene and getting into a car. Mr Sinanapayen died from his injuries at Beaumont Hospital at 2am on Monday June 1st.
