Gardaí are continuing to question a second man over the death of Lithuanian man in north Dublin after he disturbed a gang of men trying to steal diesel from his lorry.
Robertas Jusius (45), a Lithuanian father of two, was killed when he was dragged 150 feet along the road by a vehicle, said to be a red van, outside his home on Lanesborough Crescent, Finglas, just after 10pm on Tuesday night.
The victim and some friends had disturbed a gang of men who were trying siphon diesel from their lorries.
As they tried to flee, the man got caught up in the red van and was dragged for over 50 yards. He later died in hospital from his injuries.
An 18-year-old man who was arrested at the scene and detained in Blanchardson station. He appeared in Dublin District Court yesterday afternoon charged with theft.
A second man (20), who was arrested yesterday afternoon, is still being questioned by gardai in Finglas. He was held overnight and is expected to appear in court this morning.
Three other men - aged 18, 23 and 24 - whom gardaí believe were at the scene when Mr Jusius was fatally injured, presented themselves for questioning at Finglas station yesterday.
They were not arrested and left the Garda station last night after being questioned. A file on their role is also being prepared for the DPP.
