The man charged in relation to the death of John (King) O'Connor in Wexford has been further remanded in custody at Wexford District Court.
Wayne Roche appeared via video link on Monday, March 10, from Cloverhill Prison.
Roche (34) with a previous address of 84 Dominick's Place, Waterford, and most recently of no fixed abode, is charged with the murder of John (King) O'Connor, in his home at Cluain Fada, New Ross, on Tuesday, December 31.
When the matter came before Judge Sandra Murphy, prosecuting Sergeant Victor Isdell, said they are still awaiting the Book of Evidence from the DPP (Director of Public Prosecution).
Sgt. Isdell applied for a further adjournment as they awaited service of the Book of Evidence.
Defence Solicitor, Lana Doherty, said they had no objection to the application.
Judge Murphy said she would remand the accused in continuing custody to await the service of the Book of Evidence.
She adjourned the case to April 8, for the accused to appear before Wexford District Court via video link.
Before a previous sitting of Wexford District Court, Det. Garda Conor Walsh told the court that after caution Mr. Roche replied: 'I didn't murder anyone'.
