McDowell said that “several seconds later, this colleague heard shouts and it was evident that he had stabbed Mrs. Ibram.”

“The fatal injury was in the chest that went through his lungs and entered his heart. Death was as a result of blood loss due to multiple white weapon wounds,” he said.

McDowell said the “fact that” Ibram stabbed Mrs. in seconds of knowing her “invites the obvious inference that came there to kill her.”

Shamel fled the scene and went to Dublin before heading to Belfast on bus.

The PSNI stopped him in a car in Malone Road in South Belfast just before 15:30 of April 6, 2023.

The court heard that a trial date for September 8, 2025 had been established. It is expected to last two weeks.

Defensor lawyer Chris Sherrard said he would seek expert witnesses such as refutation of two processing experts who have reported the content of the USB Stick.

Judgment Hearing

Following his statement of guilt of murmuring Mrs. Iram, Mr. Justice or

The judge said there will be a subfrez “in which I will establish the number of years that his release must meet can be consulted.”

“However, the number of years that will pass, will fulfill a very long period of time in prison before the consideration of their release.”

The judge postponed the hearing of the life imprisonment until after the September trial.

He added that he would review the case of possessing documents that are probably useful for terrorists in three weeks.

Shamel was accused under the law of criminal jurisdiction of 1975, which allows the PSNI to process in Northern Ireland if a suspect has fled from a different jurisdiction.
