Date set for hearing of extradition request for man wanted in relation to shooting of British soldier
The High Court has fixed a date in the next legal term for the hearing of an extradition request for a man wanted in connection with the shooting dead of an unarmed British soldier more than 17 years ago.
The British authorities are seeking the surrender of Declan Derek Patrick Duffy (aged 35), a father-of-two originally from Armagh in the North, but with an address at Hanover St West, Dublin. He is in custody in relation to other matters.
