Court grants adjournment to Dublin man who withdrew guilty plea for murder

A Dublin man has been granted an adjournment until next year for a "breathtaking" application to withdraw his guilty plea for murdering a "mentally challenged" 63-year-old man.

Kenneth Cummins (aged 28) with an address at Ringsend Park, Dublin 4, pleaded not guilty to murdering Thomas Horan (aged 63) at Cambridge Court, Ringsend on January 6, 2014, but four weeks into his Central Criminal Court trial he changed his plea to guilty.
