A man and woman who face charges connected to the death of model Katy French have been sent forward for trial next month.
Navan District Court was told today the book of evidence had been served this morning on Kieron Ducie (40) of Lambertstown Manor, Kilmessan, Co Meath and Ann Corcoran (29) of Tolka Road, Clonliffe Road, Dublin 3.
Both accused face the same two charges. The first charge alleges that on a date and time unknown between the December 1st and 2nd, 2007 at the Statoil service station at Bracetown, Clonee, Co Meath, they conspired with persons not before the court to possess cocaine for the purpose of supply.
The second charge alleges that on the same dates and times at Lambertstown Manor, Kilmessan, they intentionally or recklessly engaged in conduct, namely the supply of cocaine to Ms French and failure to get medical assistance in a timely fashion, which created a substantial risk of death or serious harm.
When the case was called, Det Garda Niall O’Donnell gave evidence of serving the book on Ms Corcoran while Det Insp Alf Martyn gave evidence of serving it on Mr Ducie.
State solicitor Michael Finnegan told Judge Denis McLaughlin he was seeking a return for trial to the next sitting of Trim Circuit Court on October 26th.
Judge McLaughlin agreed to an application for legal aid for the two accused.
They were sent forward on the same bail conditions already put in place by the District Court.
