Man charged with murder of Garda Adrian Donohoe

A 27-year-old man appeared in court in Dundalk last night charged with the murder of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe in Co Louth just over five years ago.

Detective inspector Pat Marry told the special sitting of the court that when Aaron Brady, from New Road, Crossmaglen, in Co Armagh was charged yesterday evening with killing the detective garda in the course of his duty, he replied: “I strongly deny any involvement in the murder of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe.”

Following the hearing, at which there were a number of members of US Homeland security present, Mr Brady was remanded in custody to appear at Cloverhill District Court by video link on March 9.
