DPP to seek retrial of Dermot Laide

The Director of Public Prosecutions has reportedly decided to seek a retrial in the case of the Co Monaghan man charged in connection with the death of teenager Brian Murphy.

Twenty-three-year-old Dermot Laide, from Rossvale in Castleblaney, was jailed for four years in February 2004 after he was convicted of manslaughter and violent disorder in connection with the death.
