Irishman Charged With Murder In Australia

A 32-year-old Irishman in Perth, western Australia, has been charged with the murder of Kenny Myler from Wexford.

Mr Meyler (21) suffered a stab wound to the neck in the Perth suburb of Scarborough on the afternoon of February 10th. Police attended the scene after receiving a call about a fight involving several men.

Mr Meyler died a week later at the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.

Before Mr Meyler’s death, Vincent Martin Crowe was initially charged with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Following the results of a post-mortem this was upgraded to a charge of murder yesterday at Perth magistrate’s court.
