High Court orders surrender of man wanted in connection with murder of Jennifer Dornan
Summary
The High Court ordered the surrender of an unnamed man to the UK to face a murder charge. He had claimed that if extradited to Northern Ireland's Maghaberry Prison he would be subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment. The court, presided over by Ms Justice Aileen Donnelly, considered the man's alleged risk of self‑harm and the overall safety protocols of the Northern Irish Prison System. She noted that the system had robust inspection and risk‑assessment procedures and that any adverse findings had been acted upon. The court found no substantial risk that the man would be subjected to inhuman or degrading treatment if surrendered. The man is wanted to face a charge of murdering 30‑year‑old Jennifer Dornan, who was stabbed to death in her burning house in Hazel View, west Belfast, in August 2015.
