Charges Dismissed in Three-Year-Old Firearm Case

A man who spent more than three years charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger a woman, has had his case dismissed.

On October 29, 2025, prosecutors dropped all charges against Damion Ian Maragh, bringing criminal proceedings against him to a close.

For more than three years, Maragh lived under the shadow of these accusations, spending six weeks detained at Her Majesty’s Prison.

Andrew O’Kola, Maragh’s defense counsel, released the following statement after the court ruling:

“Mr. Maragh consistently asserted he was not guilty. No proof ever demonstrated he had control of or employed any weapon. Though the three years of instability and restricted freedom cannot be recovered, we welcome the appropriate resolution of this case.”

OMO Law Chambers praised the Director of Public Prosecutions‘ office for conducting a thorough reassessment of the case and aligning its actions with the principles of justice.
