A 15-person jury will be sworn to hear the trial later this month of a man charged with murdering a Garda more than six-and-a-half years ago, a judge at the Central Criminal Court said on Monday.
Aaron Brady, 27, from New Road, Crossmaglen, Co Armagh, was last year charged with the murder of Detective Adrian Donohoe, in the course of his duty, at Lordship Credit Union, Bellurgan, Co Louth on January 25, 2013.
Justice Michael White on Monday scheduled Brady’s trial to begin on October 21.
He agreed to empanel a 15-person jury after Brendan Grehan, SC for the prosecution, suggested the trial could continue into January 2020.
