Murder accused appears in court

THE state has strongly indicated that a book of evidence is ready to be served on a man accused of four murders in Co Limerick last November.

John Geary, aged 31, originally from Milford, Co Cork, but with an address at Meadow Court, Newcastle West, Co Limerick, was further remanded in custody to Cloverhill Prison to appear in court on June 7.

Superintendent Joe Roe told Judge Mary O’Halloran the DPP was working full-time on the case. He requested an adjournment of a month to which the defence solicitor consented.
