Man accused of mother’s murder sent forward for trial

Tue, Nov 03, 2026

A man charged with the murder of his mother appeared before Judge Adrian Harris at Galway District Court on Monday, November 2, to be presented with a book of evidence and have his case sent forward to the present sitting of the Circuit Criminal Court for trial.

Thirty-three-year-old Dubravko Ostojic, of Claí Mór, Ballybrit, Galway, appeared in person from prison for the process to be carried out.

The defendant was initially charged with assault, but this charge was upgraded to murder after his mother, Milena Ostojic (65), died having sustained serious injuries at her home at Clai Mór, Ballybrit, on April 24.
