The trial for the murder of Wexford man Kenyon (Kenny) Meyler is set to begin in Perth next Monday.
Irishman Vincent Martin Crowe (33), who was living in the suburb of Atwell, Perth, at the time of the attack, is due to stand trial for the murder of Meyler.
On Sunday 10 February 2013, Meyler was stabbed in the neck during a party at a residence in Scarborough, Perth, in Western Australia.
He was brought to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, where he remained on life support until he died on Saturday 16 February.
Shortly after Meyler’s death, Crowe, an Irish national, had his charges upgraded from “intent to do grievous bodily harm” to “murder.”
Meyler’s parents, Melanie Meyler and Dermot Moloney, will fly to Australia to attend the trial, which is expected to last three weeks.
