Three Men Extradited From RoI Over 2019 Lisnaskea Machete Attack
Three men have been extradited from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland to face trial over a 2019 machete attack in Lisnaskea.
The men, aged 55, 33 and 29, were extradited on Thursday 6 August and appeared before Newry Magistrates' Court the same morning. They are wanted on charges including Grievous Bodily Harm, Aggravated Burglary and Possession of Offensive Weapons with intent to commit an indictable offence. Extradition proceedings were finalised ahead of their return to Northern Ireland.
Detectives had been seeking the trio in connection with an incident at a house in Lisnaskea in November 2019, during which a victim was attacked with a machete.
DS Malone said: "This extradition demonstrates our commitment to tracking down those wanted for serious offending here in Northern Ireland and in this case we worked closely with An Garda Siochana to trace, arrest and return these suspects to our jurisdiction where they will now face trial.
"The Police Service will relentlessly pursue those who are trying to delay or deny justice to victims of crime."
