Man refused bail over musician's murder
The man accused of murdering blues musician Jim Gilchrist was refused bail today at the High Court.
Daryll John Quigley, 18, from Woodland Walk, Limavady, was charged with murder along with two others, after Mr Gilchrist's body was recovered from the river Foyle in September last year. One of the two other men accused was also refused bail.
A Crown lawyer said that Mr Quigley had been in breach of a curfew condition in relation to bail that he had been granted on a charge of burglary, and that he also knew the identity of witnesses and was concerned he may interfere with them if released.
Defence counsel for Mr Quigley said that there was no evidence to connect him to the attack on Mr Gilchrist.
The Judge, Mr Justice Girvan said that while there was no direct evidence connecting Mr Quigley to Mr Gilchrist's assault or throwing him into the water, the Crown was relying on alleged lies in his approach to the evidence implicating him in the murder.
Refusing bail, Justice Girvan said it was very much against Mr Quigley that he was in breach of a bail curfew at the time.
