The Book of Evidence in the case of three people charged after the collapse of the Leamy murder trial is expected to be ready early in the new year.
The murder trial collapsed at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin last month when a number of witnesses denied making statements to gardai claiming to identify 19-year-old Liam Keane as the killer of Eric Leamy (19) in August 2001.
Three of the witnesses were later charged in connection with events, which led to the collapse of the trial.
Today at Limerick District Court, the three accused were further remanded on bail until January 27th next year when the Book of Evidence is expected to be ready.
Appearing before Judge Tom O'Donnell were Mr Roy Behan, (24) St Senan's Street, St Mary's Park, David Murphy (19), Mr Lee Estate and Ms Amanda McNamara (20) formerly of Lee Estate, all in Limerick.
Mr Behan is accused of committing perjury while under oath as a witness in the trial of Liam Keane on November 3rs last by "knowingly and falsely swearing" that he did not see a row, which led to the death of Eric Leamy in Limerick city in August 2001.
Ms McNamara is charged with committing perjury on October 30th last in the same trial by "knowingly and falsely swearing" that she did not know where she was when Mr Leamy was killed.
Mr Murphy is accused of contempt of court by "refusing to give evidence" in the same trial on October 30th last at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin.
Today Judge O'Donnell remanded all of the three accused on continuing bail until January 27th next when they are due to appear before Limerick District Court again.
Mr Keane had denied the charge of murdering Eric Leamy in Lee Estate, Limerick on August 28th 2001. Last month he walked free from the Central Criminal Court in Dublin after the DPP ordered that a nolle prosequi be entered with his presumption of innocence still intact.
