New age traveller murder trial suddenly adjourned

The trial of two men charged with the murder of a new age traveller in County Leitrim in 1998 has been adjourned to tomorrow for reasons the trial judge said were out of his hands.

Andrew Gordon Roche (aged 36), with an address in Drumlease, Dromohair, Co Leitrim and Keith Cooper (aged 25), with an address at Gortimar, Manorhamilton, have pleaded not guilty to the murder of Elliott Colin Double, otherwise known as Elliott Robertson, at a new age traveller campsite on the mountainside at Boihy, Co Leitrim on October 6, 1998.
