A pensioner has been arrested and charged with the murder of a 38-year-old man in Galway city last year. He was charged there with the murder of well-known runner Christopher McGrath at Mr Lenihan’s home at Cardinal Cushing Road, Mervue, Galway, early on March 12th, 2017. Garda Neil Lydon gave evidence that the defendant had replied, “I didn’t want to be strangled to death”, when the murder charge was put to him earlier. She noted Mr Lenihan was a pensioner and his income reached the threshold for granting the application. Mr McGrath was a member of Galway City Harriers.
