The case against a man and woman who face charges connected to the death of model Katy French has been adjourned again.
Kieran Ducie (40), Lambertstown Manor, Kilmessan, Co Meath, and Ann Corcoran (29), Tolka Road, Clonliffe Road, Dublin, are charged that on December 1st and 2nd, 2007 at the Statoil service station, Bracetown, Clonee, Co Meath they conspired to possess cocaine for the purpose of supply to another.
The second charge alleges that at Lambertstown Manor, Kilmessan, they intentionally or recklessly engaged in conduct – the supply of cocaine – to Ms French and failed to get medical assistance in a timely fashion, which created a substantial risk of death or serious harm.
When the case was called at Navan District Court today, Garda Inspector Martina Noonan asked for an adjournment “in relation to the book of evidence.”
A barrister for the accused consented to the adjournment but asked Judge David Anderson to make it pre-emptory against the State.
Judge Anderson refused the request and adjourned the case to September 8th.
Ms French died in Our Lady’s Hospital in Navan in December 2007 after being in a coma for a number of days.
