Gardaí in Cork still have no idea as to the true identity of a man who has been in custody since last month.

The elderly man who has an American accent was previously charged with using the name of a baby who died in the 1950s to apply for a passport in Cork.

The man who allegedly identified himself as Philip Frank Morris has been charged with a second offence involving another baby who died several months after his birth.

Cork District Court heard the man allegedly had a passport in the name of Geoffrey Warbrook, however it has been confirmed that Geoffrey Warbrook died in the early 1950’s.

Detective Garda Padraig Hanley of the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation previously told the court that the man- who is aged around 70- was not helping them in any way as they try to figure out his real identity.

Today Detective Hanley said Interpol have some responses to their inquiries, while defence solicitor said his client could be “Canadian or from any English speaking country.”

Judge Olann Kelleher remanded the man in custody until next Tuesday.
