Chloe Mitchell murder trial: Judge says he will set date next month

A senior judge has said he will set a trial date next month for the man accused of murdering Chloe Mitchell.

Brandon Rainey, formerly of James Street in the town, denies murdering the 21-year-old in Ballymena in 2023 and preventing the lawful burial of her remains.

The 30-year-old was due to stand trial in March this year but his previous legal team walked away from the case stating that they had been “professionally compromised” and said the defendant had told them that he no longer wished them to represent him.

A new legal team headed up by senior defence counsel Des Fahy KC, instructed by Phoenix Law, came on record a few weeks later.
