A judge rejects objections raised by a man accused in connection with the 2020 murder of Robert “Robbie” Lawlor and related extradition proceedings. According to multiple reports, Mr Justice Patrick McGrath does not issue an order for extradition at the hearing. Instead, he remands the accused in custody and fixes a further court date for 29 July, after hearing that the defence wants time to consider the judgment. The extradition case is based on a warrant issued by Northern Irish authorities, which alleges that the accused, identified as Gill, 44, of Malahide Road, Clontarf, Dublin, was involved in a joint enterprise to murder Robert Lawlor. The reports state that the warrant refers to the date of the alleged offence as 4 April 2020. The judge’s decision at this stage concerns the objections presented by the defence to the extradition request, and the accused remains detained pending the next procedural step in the case.
