Cian English, 19, originally from Carlow town, but who lived in the Brisbane suburb of Hawthorne, suffered traumatic injuries when he fell from a fourth floor balcony
Three men have pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of an Irish teenager who died in Australia after he fell from an apartment balcony during an armed robbery.Lachlan Paul Soper-Lagas, 21, Hayden Paul Kratzmann, 23, and Jason Ryan Knowles, 25, were committed by the Southport Magistrates Court in May of last year to stand trial in the Queensland Supreme Court in Brisbane.The three men were aged between 18 and 22 at the time of Mr English’s death.
Chief Justice Helen Bowskill was informed by Defence Counsels that all of the accused men have agreed to a plea deal. The court heard that Mr English had been partying with a friend, before they invited the group from the apartment directly above them to join them.A spokesperson for the Supreme Court said: “Sentencing all depends on how long submissions take from the Director of Public Prosecutions and defence barristers.
There was a large contingent of the victim’s family, his mother Siobhan, brother Dylan, relatives who have travelled from Ireland and friends in court. The teenager’s father Vincent was present on video link during the court hearing.
