On Monday, Modack and Kilian’s bail hearing was postponed to 24 May.
They face charges including the murder of Kinnear, a murder attempt on prominent lawyer William Booth in April 2020, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, money laundering, corruption, and contravention of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act and the Electronic Communications Act.
The prospects of Kilian and Modack being released on bail appear slim.
They are charged with a Schedule Six offence, which requires proof that exceptional circumstances exist for their release on bail, and that it would be in the interests of justice.
Also weighing heavily against them is that they are accused of murdering a police officer, a crime for which the prescribed minimum sentence is life imprisonment.
