A 30-YEAR-OLD Dublin man has pleaded not guilty to the murder, but guilty to manslaughter, of a man who died during an alleged road rage incident in 2010.
Raymond Bates, 49, sustained serious head injuries during an assault at the junction of Sandymount Road and Tritonville Road in September 2010. He became ill the following day, and died in hospital four days later, the BBC reports.
RTÉ reports that Karl Donohue of Fisherman’s Wharf, Ringsend, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in court today.
His legal counsel said that Donohue wanted to apologise to Bates’ family and said that the incident had been a moment of madness on his part.
He is due to be sentenced on 16 April.
