A DERRY man charged
with dangerous driving causing the deaths of five
young people in a two-car collision in Donegal was
yesterday remanded on continuing bail until October. |
 |
Brendan Henderson, of
16 Seven Oaks, Waterside, Derry, is charged with
causing the deaths of Gavin Duffy, 21, his cousin
Darren Quinn, 21, David Steele, 23, Rochelle
Peoples, 22 and Charlene O'Connor, 21.
The crash happened in the early hours of October 8,
2005, at Cross, Quigley's Point on the Inishowen
peninsula. The 49 year old defendant, who was the
sole survivor, has used a wheelchair since the
accident.
Judge John O'Hagan yesterday acknowledged the
inadequate access to Letterkenny court for
wheelchair users when defence barrister Peter Nolan
said his client had got in to the building |
"with great
difficulty".
In an earlier hearing, the defendant indicated his
intention to plead not guilty to the charge. Mr
Nolan yesterday told the court he expected the trial
to last between two and three days. |
