A Kildare man charged with murder has appeared in court again.
Padraig Delaney, 43, whose address was given as 6 The Lane, Eustace Demesne, Naas, faces an allegation of the murder of 37 year old Shane Knott between April 3-14, at that address.
He appeared via video link at Naas District court today.
Solicitor Tim Kennelly told the court that he has secured the services of a pathologist, Professor Jack Crane, to review images from the post mortem examination of the deceased and prepare “an independent report.”
Mr Kennelly said today it’s likely it won’t be not be necessary to have an “in person examination” of the deceased.
