Lyra McKee: Delay in proceedings against two men charged with murder and rioting

Riot accused Christopher Gillen banned from social medida

COURT proceedings against two men charged in connection with the rioting and murder of Lyra McKee will not proceed on in two months time.

Paul McIntyre, 52, of Kinnego Park, is charged with the murder of Ms McKee, possessing a firearm with intent and belonging to a proscribed organisation.

He is further charged, along with Christopher Gillen, 39, of Balbane Pass, with petrol bomb offences.

Both men also face hijacking, arson and rioting charges.

The court had initially pencilled in a possible date of Tuesday, September 1, for Committal proceedings.

Both men deny the charges against them.

Ms McKee, 29, was observing rioting in Derry’s Creggan estate when she was shot on 18 April 2019.

Paul McIntyre charged with murder of Lyra McKee freed on strict bail

District Judge Peter Magill told Derry Magistrates’ Court that he had previously raised the issues of the difficulties in holding the committal.

He said that while the courts were being “phased back in”, a hearing on disclosure would still present problems with finding a court room big enough.

The case was adjourned until September 1 to deal with the disclosure issues.
