Two elderly men challenge extradition from Ireland to Northern Ireland over 1975 murder and attempted murder charges, citing a 48-year delay as unfair.
Two elderly men, John Edward McNicholl, 73, and Seamus Christopher O'Kane, 74, are challenging extradition from Ireland to Northern Ireland over 1975 charges tied to the murder of RUC officer Robert John McPherson and the attempted murder of another officer.
Both escaped from Maze Prison in 1976 and have lived in Ireland for decades.
Their lawyers argue a 48-year delay in seeking surrender—despite knowledge of their whereabouts—constitutes an abuse of process, citing fairness concerns given their age, health, and established lives.
The Court of Appeal is deciding whether the prolonged inaction undermines the justice process, with the case hinging on whether the delay renders prosecution unfair.
