Judge orders arrest of Keane over court no-show

A DISTRICT court judge has ordered the arrest of Liam Keane, whose trial for murder collapsed at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin on Monday.

The judge made the order yesterday when the 19-year-old Limerick man failed to appear in court to answer charges of threatening, abusive and insulting behaviour with intent to provoke a breach of the peace.

The charges relate to alleged incidents which occurred in the car park of the Parkway Shopping Centre in Limerick on October 19, 2003.
