Three men “hunted down” a couple made homeless when their home was taken over for crack cocaine dealing, and beat a man with a baseball bat in a car, it has been alleged. The trio, who have yet to indicate pleas, were remanded in custody to appear at Cloverhill District Court on Friday. The judge heard claims that the couple were forced to leave and became homeless earlier this year. In evidence in respect of the case against Lee Kelly, Garda Kennedy alleged the complainant's home had been “taken over” sometime in 2021. Detective Sergeant Domhnall O'Connell told the court the couple were terrified and could not be forced to come to the bail hearing.
