Hearing date set for man wanted for attempted murder in the UK
Summary
A hearing has been scheduled for Simeon Cosmo Langford, 32, who is wanted in England for attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, theft and assault, and for allegedly breaching the conditions of his release from a prison sentence for grievous bodily harm. The European Arrest Warrant, issued in August 2015, states that Langford was released on licence on 6 May 2015 and is alleged to have committed the offences between 2 and 11 June 2015. He is believed to have fled to Ireland on 13 June 2015 using a passport under the name Luke Gillespie. Gardaí arrested him in Cork in August 2015 and he was brought before the High Court. In that proceeding, Langford denied the extradition request. In the most recent hearing, counsel Ronan Munro BL sought discovery of documents relating to Langford's prison security status, but the court refused. Justice Aileen Donnelly noted that Langford had only provided a general statement about prison conditions.
