Date set for Cecil Tomkins retrial

Written By Unknown on Senin, 22 Oktober 2012 | 22.40

Cecil Tomkins was jailed for life by the Central Criminal Court in April, after being found guilty of murdering 66-year-old Walter Tomkins at Cronlea, Shillelagh, on 1 July of that year.

However, he was released on bail last week after having his conviction quashed by the Court of Criminal Appeal, which ruled that the jury in his murder trial had not been properly directed.

It was heard that the bachelor had advanced Parkinson's disease, used a wheelchair and was incapable of independent living.

He was released on bail to the care of Bloomfield Nursing Home.

Mr Tomkins' case was listed before the Central Criminal Court again this morning so that a date could be set for a retrial.

State solicitor Liam Mulholland told Mr Justice Paul Carney that the Court of Criminal Appeal had directed a retrial.

"Mr Tomkins is quite elderly so we're looking for as early a date as possible," he said.

A date was set for 20 January, 2014.
