Antoin Duffy, who is in his 40s, of no fixed address, appeared before the non-jury Special Criminal Court on Monday via video-link from prison. He is charged with the murder of Donaldson in Cloghercor, Doochary, Co Donegal, between April 3rd and 4th, 2006, after being extradited from Scotland earlier this year. He was also charged with possession of a shotgun and ammunition “with intent to endanger life” at the same date and location.
