High Court orders surrender of men wanted over body found in suitcase in Amsterdam canal
Summary
The High Court has ordered the surrender of two Dublin men, Kenneth Brunell (27) of Palmerstown and Barry McArdle (27) of Drimnagh, to Dutch authorities. They are wanted in connection with the 2009 death of Keith Ennis (29) of Walkinstown, whose dismembered body was found in an Amsterdam canal. Ennis was on the run from Gardaí at the time of his death, and his body parts were dumped in a suitcase in a canal on the northern outskirts of Amsterdam after he was stabbed. A third man, Philip County (31) of Lucan, had already been extradited to Holland in April 2011. Mr Justice John Edwards announced the decision to surrender the pair, noting that a detailed judgment would be issued on Friday, February 21. He also remarked that the judgment would be extensive and that he would simply hand it down, while the men remained in custody until that date.
