A judge says it is “disappointing” that an Islamic State supporter who stabbed a garda does not engage in risk and psychological assessments. RTE and the Belfast Telegraph report that Abdullah Khan’s lack of cooperation is raised in court in the context of assessments that inform sentencing and risk management. Multiple outlets also say the case has experienced significant delays, with sentencing being repeatedly pushed back, including due to procedural or administrative issues. The Evening Standard and BreakingNews.ie specifically note that sentencing for Khan has been deferred on several occasions, attributing the postponements to delays in the proceedings. Yahoo UK News carries the same central message about the judge’s criticism of Khan’s non-engagement, while not introducing a contrasting factual account. Overall, the reports agree that the court is proceeding with the sentencing process while recording that Khan does not take part in the requested assessments, and that the timeline for sentencing has been extended by repeated postponements.
