Murder Trial Adjourned
A high profile murder case has today come to a temporary end.
No other details surrounding the move were given in court and the case has now been adjourned until 10 November.
The jury hearing the trial of six people charged in connection with the murder of Ballymena teenager Michael McIlveen has been dismissed.
They were told they were being discharged from any further involvement in the trial at Antrim Crown Court "because of matters which had arisen".
The 15-year-old victim died after being attacked in the town in May 2006.
Five people are accused of murder while a sixth defendant denies charges of affray and criminal damage.
Earlier in the trial, a 20-year-old man, Mervyn Wilson Moon, of Douglas Terrace in Ballymena, pleaded guilty to murder.
He will not be sentenced until the end of a retrial.
