Jonathan Gill to challenge bid to extradite him over murder of Robbie Lawlor
The proposed evidence against Jonathan Gill, who is wanted in Northern Ireland in connection with the murder of gangland criminal Robbie Lawlor, would not be admissible under EU law, his barrister has told the High Court.Gill’s case raises complex matters of law because the evidence would be considered valid in a court in the United Kingdom, the extradition hearing was told today.The respondent (44), with an address on the Malahide Road in Clontarf, on Dublin’s northside, will challenge a bid by authorities in the North to extradite him in June.He is wanted by the PSNI so he can be prosecuted, on a “joint enterprise basis”, for the murder of 36-year-old Lawlor, who was shot dead in the front garden of a house at Etna Drive, Belfast, on the morning of April 4, 2020.
