A young Newtownbutler man who is facing a charge of the manslaughter of a 13-year-old boy, had his case put back for the preparation of a medical report, at Dungannon Crown Court.
19-year-old Francis McDermott, Camphill Park, Newtownbutler has denied the unlawful killing of Belcoo schoolboy Oisin McGrath, following an alleged incident at St Michael’s College Enniskillen in February 2015.
Oisin McGrath was taken to hospital and was put on a life support machine, but died four days later.
His parents have since set up a foundation in his memory to raise awareness of organ donation, brain injury research and local youth sports development.
A defence counsel for the defendant said they were awaiting a medical report from a professor from the Imperial College London who specialised in neuro- vascular matters.
Judge Stephen Fowler adjourned the case until June 16 for the report to be before the court.
