GARDAÍ HAVE been granted a further two weeks to complete the file in the investigations into the double murder of a man and a woman in Limerick earlier this year.
Breda Waters (28) and Des Kelly (24) were shot dead at a house in O’Malley Park, Limerick, on January 9th last.
Thomas Stewart (27) of The Cedars, Briarfield, Castletroy, Limerick, and Patrick O’Brien (31) of Glanntan, Golf Links Road, Castletroy, are charged with their murders.
Insp Derek Smart told Limerick District Court yesterday that the files for both men are nearing completion and requested an adjournment of two weeks to complete and submit the files to the DPP.
Defence solicitor Darach McCarthy said the men have been in custody for almost two months and that bail in Mr O’Brien’s case had been refused by the High Court.
Judge Tom O’Donnell granted the request and adjourned both cases until March 30th.
