A jury has been selected at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin to hear the trial of a man charged with murdering his wife in 2006.
Siobhan Kearney was discovered strangled to death
Brian Kearney (50), with an address at Carnroe, Knocknashee, Goatstown, Dublin, has pleaded not guilty to murdering his wife, Siobhan Kearney (38), on February 28th, 2006.
The body of Ms Kearney, a mother of one, was found at the house in Goatstown on Mr Kearney's 49th birthday.
A jury of seven men and five women has been selected to hear the trial, but Mr Justice Barry White told them the case would not open until Wednesday morning as an edited version of the book of evidence needed to be produced for Mr Kearney's defence counsel, Mr Patrick Gageby SC.
Mr Justice White told the jury the State had an obligation to provide the court and defence the book of evidence that included what witnesses will be called, statements taken from witnesses and a list of exhibits.
He said the prosecution, led by Mr Denis Vaughan Buckley SC, agreed there was some evidence in the book that should not properly be put before the jury.
He told the jury to return at 11am on Wednesday when the case will begin.
