Overview
- Jonathan Gill, 47, appeared in the High Court in Dublin Friday after Gardaí arrested him in north Dublin on a PSNI extradition warrant.
- Police in Northern Ireland seek to charge him with murder and possession of a firearm linked to the shooting of Robbie Lawlor in north Belfast on 4 April 2020.
- The judge remanded Mr Gill to Cloverhill Prison and set his next court date for 21 April.
- Gardaí from the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation made the arrest under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, which is the post‑Brexit process for transferring suspects between Ireland and the UK.
- An Garda Síochána and the PSNI say they are running a joint inquiry, and while some reports cite EncroChat data as an investigative lead, police have not confirmed that detail.
