Feared gang boss Cornelius Price's trial for an alleged kidnap plot in the UK has been adjourned for almost a year - as he remains gravely ill in a Welsh hospital.
The notorious gangster was due to go on trial on Monday - his 40th birthday - at Wood Green Crown Court in London along with five other defendants, including Drogheda man Mark Kavanagh.
The case was on the list for mention yesterday and the court heard Price who has links to paralysed Drogheda mob boss Owen Maguire and his associates involved in the deadly feud in the Co Louth town - is too ill to attend court.
The court heard Price has been diagnosed with limbic encephalitis - an autoimmune condition and remains seriously ill in hospital.
