Busi­ness­man Do­minic Hadeed and his wife Genevieve have suf­fered an­oth­er dis­ap­point­ment in their bid to se­cure their in­ter­im re­lease from de­ten­tion over an al­leged plot to kill Gov­ern­ment of­fi­cials.

Ear­li­er to­day, lawyers for the cou­ple and the State re­ceived no­ti­fi­ca­tion that a fi­nal ap­peal, over a de­ci­sion by a three-mem­ber pan­el of the Court of Ap­peal to or­der their re­lease on house ar­rest, could not be fa­cil­i­tat­ed be­fore the Unit­ed King­dom-based ap­pel­late court's va­ca­tion pe­ri­od be­gins next Fri­day.

The court re­port­ed­ly in­di­cat­ed that the ear­li­est the ap­peal could take place would be in Oc­to­ber mean­ing that the cou­ple would re­main de­tained at least up un­til the State of Emer­gency ends in mid-Sep­tem­ber.
