Date Published: 21-Nov-2012

The trial of a man charged with withholding information during the investigation into the death of Oughterard publican and teacher, John Kenny, will resume before a jury at Galway Circuit Criminal Court tomorrow (Friday).

38 year old Florin Fitzpatrick, a Romanian National, denies a charge of withholding information which might have been of assistance in the apprehension of people involved in Mr Kenny’s death.

The trial of 38 year old Florin Fitzpatrick, opened last week but has been locked in legal argument since last Thursday.

Judge Gerard Griffin sent the jury of six men and six women away on Thursday and told them to return today when it had been expected the trial would resume.

However, this has now been extended by a further day with legal argument set to continue today.

The jury of six men and six women are now expected to return tomorrow [Fri Nov 23].
