A juvenile is to appear Limerick district court today over the 2007 killing of Patrick Coleman (33) in the city.
The father of two died from injuries he sustained as he walked on a roadway linking Childers Road and the city's Southern Ring Road on September 2nd, 2007.
Mr Coleman's body was discovered when gardaí forced their way into his home at John Carew Park a short time after the alarm was raised by a friend of the dead man.
The youth was arrested this morning, according to the Garda press office.
