The Director of Public Prosecutions has agreed to discover documents sought by a man in his judicial review challenge aimed at preventing his trial for the murders of two women in Grangegorman, Dublin.
Mark Nash (37), from Huddersfield, Yorkshire, has brought a judicial review in the High Court to stop his trial for the murders of Mary Callanan (61) and Sylvia Shields (60) at their sheltered accommodation in Grangegorman, close to St Brendan’s Psychiatric Hospital, between March 6th and 7th, 1997. Mr Nash claims the delay in charging him, publicity and witnesses’ unavailability have prejudiced his right to a fair trial. The case has been adjourned to facilitate the discovery.
