Refusal to extradite man wanted in UK upheld by Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has upheld the High Court’s decision to refuse to extradite a Dublin man wanted in the UK on robbery charges.

In April 2006 Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne refused to extradite Martin Kerrigan (aged 46) of Foxdene Drive, Lucan, Co Dublin after finding the application was an attempt to force his brother to plead guilty to murdering Irish woman Catherine Corridan in London 14 years ago.
