Wharrie extradition case adjourned

The High Court has adjourned an extradition request from the UK for 48-year-old English man Perry Wharrie who was jailed for 30 years for his role in a major cocaine smuggling operation in Co Cork.

London born Perry Brian Wharrie, with an address at Pyrles Lane, Loughton, Essex is being sought in relation to the 1988 armed robbery of a Securicor van at Barkley's Bank at Hemel Hempstead in the UK during which an unarmed off-duty police officer was shot dead.
