Continuing bail for fatal assault pair

TWO men involved in a fatal attack on a Polish man will be sentenced in the New Year, a court heard yesterday.

Adrian Kozak, 22, and Caolon Michael Johnston, 21, admitted the manslaughter of Piotr Krowka.

The 36-year-old was beaten to death in a disused parochial house in Maghera, Co Derry, on March 31, 2018.

Judge Patrick Smyth told the pair at Belfast Crown Court to expect “lengthy prison sentences”.

Johnston, from The Fort in Maghera and Ballymena man Kozak, from Garvey Wood, were placed on continuing bail ahead of their sentencing.
