A 36-year-old Lithuanian man has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of a fellow Lithuanian, whose body was discovered in a garage in County Tyrone almost three years ago.

The body of 32-year-old Gediminas Stauskas was found in a garage at Moor Road, near Coalisland on 15 October, 2015.

According to a report by the BBC, Darius Sikorskas admitted the manslaughter of Mr Stauskas, causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a firearm.

Two other men, Marius Dzimisevicius, 29, and Dimitrijus Indrisiunas, 44, admitted withholding information about the case.

All three men have been released on continuing bail to return to court on 25 May.
