Man charged with murder of Irishman Fintan McDwyer in Manchester

A MAN has been charged with the murder of an Irishman in Manchester.

Direece Roche is due to appear Manchester Magistrates Court today.

The 30-year-old, from Longsight, is charged with the murder of Mr McDwyer, who was found dead at a house in Platt Lane, Fallowfield at around 8.50am on July 1.

Paying tribute to the 64-year-old, his family said: “Fintan was our own gentle giant, with a calm and reassuring presence.”

"He had the most wonderful, soft, Irish lilt," they added, “he was a true gentleman, had a wonderful sense of humour, and always had a twinkle in his eye.”
