File to be sent to DPP over fatal Cork assault last year
A file will be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions after a man and woman were held for questioning in connection with the death of a 36-year-old woman who was attacked at a soup kitchen in Cork city centre last year. Vanessa O'Callaghan had been given some food and a sleeping bag by a member of the Kindness Krew volunteer group when she was attacked on St Patrick's Street on 1 December last year. She was assaulted by up to three people. One of the volunteers rushed to her assistance and commenced CPR prior to the arrival of paramedics. However, the native of the Middle Parish in the city died at Cork University Hospital three days later. Yesterday, a man and a woman in their 30s were arrested in connection with the death of Ms O'Callaghan. They were held under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at a garda station in Cork.
