Further delay as gardaí wait for forensic analysis

THE college student charged with the unlawful killing of County Cork schoolboy Robert Holohan was yesterday remanded in custody for a seventh time after appearing at Midleton District Court.

Judge Michael Pattwell warned, however, that a senior garda investigating the case or an official from the office of the DPP would be required in court to explain any further delay in the service of the book of evidence.

Wayne O’Donoghue, aged 21, who is charged with the manslaughter of his 11-year-old neighbour at Ballyedmond, Midleton, on January 4, is due to appear in court again on Thursday.
