Third man charged in relation to Clondalkin murder of Josip Strok

A man aged in his 40’s who was arrested on Thursday in relation to murder of Josip Strok and the serious assault of his friend in Clondalkin earlier this year has been charged.

The 31-year-old from Croatia suffered head injuries after an incident at Grange View Way in Clondalkin on March 30 and his friend David Družinec was injured during the same incident. On April 3, Mr Strok died of his injuries in Tallaght Hospital.
