The case against a man and a woman charged in connection with the death of model Katy French has been adjourned.
Kieran Ducie (40), Lambertstown Manor, Kilmessan, Co Meath and Ann Corcoran (29), Tolka Rd., Clonliffe Road, appeared before Trim Circuit Court today. Both face the same charges.
The first charge alleges that on a date unknown between December 1st and 2nd 2007 at the
Statoil service station Bracetown, Clonee Co Meath, they conspired with persons not before the court to possess cocaine for the purpose of supply to another.
The second charge alleges that on the same dates and times at 10 Lamberstown Manor, Kilmessan
they supplied cocaine to Katy French, and failure to get medical assistance in timely fashion which created a substantial risk of death or serious harm to another.
The court heard the trial could take over a week and Judge Michael O Shea adjourned the case to Feburary 1st.
Both defendants were remanded on continuing bail.
French died at Our Lady's Hospital Navan in December 2007, some days after she collapsed following a house party in Meath.
A post mortem found she had died as the result of brain damage and found traces of cocaine in her system.
