Man appears in court charged with the murder of Quham Babatunde

23-year-old man has been remanded into custody charged with the murder of Quham Babatunde in Dublin.

Ryan Ndede, from Boroimhe Birches in Swords, Co Dublin, appeared before a district judge at Belfast Magistrates' Court on Friday morning.

Mr Babatunde, who was aged in his 30s, was stabbed during a street altercation on Dublin's South Anne Street in the early hours of Saturday.

Ndede was arrested onboard a ferry from Belfast to Birkenhead on Sunday evening.

Legislation dating back to the Troubles allows the courts in Northern Ireland to prosecute offences committed in the Republic of Ireland.

No bail application was made during Friday's hearing before deputy district judge Alan White and the accused was remanded in custody to appear before court again on March 21.

Two other men arrested by gardai in connection with the incident have appeared before courts in Dublin.
