A teenager is due to appear in court in Limerick today in connection with the murder of Patrick Coleman.

The 33-year-old father of two died after being stabbed to death. He sustained the injuries as he walked on a roadway linking Childers Road and the Southern Ring Road on September 2, 2007.

His body was discovered by Gardai when they forced their way into his home after a friend of Mr Coleman raised the alarm.
