By Gráinne Nolan

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Roy Norman Kenyon was ordered surrendered to the UK over a murder conviction by the High Court on 3 May 2019.

The European arrest warrant sought his return to serve a life sentence imposed for the murder, committed when he was a juvenile.

Ms Justice Donnelly rejected his objections, finding this was not an exceptional case where surrender would be egregious.

The order followed his arrest in West Cork on 2 May 2018 after he had lived in Ireland under an assumed name.
