Forensic results awaited in case of man who allegedly set fire to waste removal tanker and two other vehicles
Forensic results are awaited in the case of a man charged with causing more than €100,000 worth of damage after he allegedly set fire to a Swissport Airline waste removal tanker and two other vehicles at Cork Airport Business Park in June. Mateusz Stula of Orchard Road in Blackpool in Cork city has appeared at Cork District Court charged with three counts of arson. Advertisement Sgt John Kelleher said that forensic analysis was ongoing in relation in the incidence of arson at the business park earlier this summer. A file is being prepared for the DPP. Defence solicitor Eddie Burke said that his client —who appeared today by video link — consented to a two or four week adjournment of the case. Judge John King further remanded Mr Stula to appear before Cork District Court via video link on September 3rd next. Advertisement Meanwhile, it is alleged that shortly after 1am on June 10th Mr Stula (32) entered the grounds of Cork Airport Business Park and set fire to three vehicles parked there. The Swissport Airline waste removal tanker was valued at €100,000. A second vehicle was privately owned and had been parked at the business park while the owner was out of the country. A third vehicle was a privately owned animal transporter truck which had been dropped to the business park for repairs. Det Sgt Pat Lyons previously objected to the granting of bail in the case citing the seriousness of the charges and the strength of the evidence against the accused. CCTV footage was checked in the aftermath of the incident. Mr Burke also previously told the court that his client was drinking alcohol whilst on prescribed medication and required inpatient treatment. He said that Mr Stuka had worked at a premises in the airport business park prior to the incident. Mr Burke said the matter before the court was not a case of Mr Stula going to the airport to carry out this damage. 'For whatever reason, he left his place of work and went to where these vehicles were.'

Romanian migrant put woman in hospital after hitting her with his bicycle while banned from driving
A Romanian migrant has put a woman in hospital after hitting her with his bicycle while he was banned from driving. Emanuel Stefanovich, 23, of Warrington, Cheshire, ploughed into the pedestrian, 27, from behind as she walked through the town's centre, at 3pm on April 5. The full-time cleaner had been banned from driving for 12 months for riding a motorbike without a licence or insurance - but he could still legally use a pedal cycle. CCTV showed him weaving in out of shoppers on Horsemarket Street, a busy pedestrianised area, before he smashed into the woman's back and 'sent her flying'. He stayed at the scene, looking on as members of the public rushed to assist her until police and paramedics arrived. The unnamed woman was left 'disorientated' after falling on her front and taken to hospital for head and back pain, before being given painkillers and discharged. Stefanovich said when questioned he had been 'in a rush' after receiving a phone call to say his mother, who has cancer, had been taken to hospital. He has now been fined £215 after admitting dangerous cycling at Warrington Magistrates' Court, when the maximum sentence for this offence is £2,500. The cyclist was also ordered to pay £171 in costs plus a victim surcharge. Stefanovich, who has been in the UK since 2017, declined to comment after the case. It came despite Government promises of a court crackdown on dangerous cycling. Three pedestrians a year have lost their lives to such collisions in Britain over the last ten years, according to Government figures. Last year, the then-Conservative Government tried to impose tough new laws against causing death and serious injury by dangerous cycling. But the debate was cancelled due to last year's general election. The issue was only re-visited last month when the Labour Government vowed to introduce similar laws under the Crime and Policing Bill which could result in killer cyclists being jailed for life. The new laws are still not yet in force. Stefanovich has no previous convictions - but was handed his driving ban and fined £1,332 on April 22 last year under the much-criticised secretive Single Justice Procedure (SJP). The process, introduced in 2015 for minor crimes, sees the accused sent a letter noting the date range in which a magistrate will deal with their case. Instead of an automatic hearing, they are told to enter pleas and whether they want a hearing or not by post. Under this process, Stefanovich's case was held in his absence, after he was caught riding a motorbike without insurance and after his Compulsory Basic Training certificate had expired. Prosecutor Angela Blackmore said: 'The defendant essentially rode a cycle dangerously down a densely populated road in Warrington town centre.' Noting Stefanovich had no previous convictions, she continued: 'There are no sentencing guidelines in the relation to this type of offence. 'It is a summary only matter [a less serious offence, tried in a magistrates' court].' The lawyer added: 'The defendant does not leave the scene but it should be pointed out he did not offer any assistance to this lady. 'Others do that. He appeared to run into the woman for no apparent reason.' CCTV shows Stefanovich pulling on to the street very quickly, before slowing to move around pedestrians, including a man with a child in a pushchair. The victim is seen walking further down the road from behind. When he hits her, he immediately stops, gets off his bike and stays at the scene. Stefanovich's lawyer Krystyna Doroszkiewicz also noted his lack of previous convictions or cautions: 'There have not been any incidents with police before.' She explained her client had been doing some shopping in the town centre when he received the call about his mother. 'In a split second he looked somewhere and then the lady was in his view. That is when the accident happened. He is remorseful for it', the lawyer continued. 'He understands that is not the way to cycle but it was an urgency to get to his mother after receiving the phone call. 'He did not try to run away. He did not help but that is not because he did not want to help. 'It all happened in such a quick time period. It was a shock. More than anything it was a shock.' Miss Dorosziewcz said her client is not first aid-trained so did not help tend to the woman as he was 'more worried about doing more harm to her than doing good'. She added, 'He did stay and give his details', before providing the further context her client is on a salary of £1,400 per month. Four pedestrians died and 185 were seriously injured in 2023 after being hit by a cyclist, according to Government figures. Cyclists can currently be prosecuted for both dangerous and careless or inconsiderate cycling. These offences are respectively considered to be just as severe as both dangerous and careless or inconsiderate driving. The maximum penalty for dangerous cycling is currently a £2,500 fine - while careless cyclists can be ordered to pay at most £1,000. Cyclists can also be charged with 'wanton and furious driving' if they cause bodily harm, with the maximum penalty for this a two-year prison sentence. This is under a piece of 19th-century legislation, the Offences Against The Person Act 1861. A Department for Transport spokesperson said: 'Dangerous cycling is completely unacceptable, and the safety of our roads is a key priority for this Government. 'That's why the Government is proposing new offences and penalties for dangerous cycling, updating legislation that is over 160 years old, to ensure that the tiny minority who recklessly disregard others face the full force of the law.'

North London shooting victim was ‘deeply loved' father-of-one
The victim of a fatal shooting in north London has been named by police as Erdal Ozmen, a 'deeply loved' father-of-one. A murder investigation was opened after Mr Ozmen, 45, was killed in Stoke Newington in the early hours of Tuesday, the Metropolitan Police said. He was found with gunshot injuries at an address in Dynevor Road at 12.18am and later pronounced dead at the scene. Mr Ozmen was 'deeply loved by his family', detectives said on Wednesday as they appealed for witnesses to help find his killer. The motive for the murder remains unclear, the force said. No arrests have been made. Forensic officers in scrubs and masks were at the scene on Tuesday afternoon, alongside several police officers. Det Ch Insp Dave Whellams, who is leading the investigation, said: 'We continue to appeal for witnesses to come forward following the fatal shooting of Erdal. 'He was a father-of-one and was deeply loved by his family. 'Today, we are asking the public for assistance. Were you in the Dynevor Road area late on Monday night into early Tuesday morning? Did you see anyone acting out of the ordinary? 'Did you hear anything at all which perhaps seemed unusual – maybe people shouting, or a loud vehicle? 'The smallest piece of information could play a significant role in our investigation.' A post-mortem examination has not yet been carried out but Mr Ozmen's family are being supported by specialist officers. Residents woke to gunshots Liza Dodds, 58, a youth worker who lives opposite Dynevor Road, said: 'My husband woke up and said there was gunshots. The instant reaction was 'how do you know?' 'We both got up and had a look. A police officer was doing CPR where the person fell. It seemed like they were going forever.' Another resident said: 'I heard a few gunshots and the first thing I thought was that it was fireworks, because you don't expect it to be a gun. 'I was trying to sleep but then later I heard sirens from the police cars.' One resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said: 'We were out when it happened so we didn't hear or see anything. 'But when we came back at around 1am, the whole area was cordoned off and the police officers told us that it will be a crime scene for a couple of days.'
