Abstract

A couple have appeared in court charged with attempted murder.

Patrick “Patsy” Adams, 59, and his wife, Constance, 55, appeared at Woolwich Crown Court charged with the attempted murder of a 51-year-old man and possession of a firearm.

Paul Tiernan was shot as he sat at the wheel of his car in Wyclif Street on December 22, 2013.

The couple, from Percival Street, Finsbury, were extradited from Holland in October last year after being spotted in Amsterdam. They have yet to enter pleas.

They were remanded in custody to appear at the same court on February 12.

The previous week Patrick’s brother, Thomas “Tommy” Adams, 57, of Islington, appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on unrelated charges of four counts of money laundering.

His arrest comes after a lengthy investigation by Scotland Yard and HM Revenue and Customs. He was granted conditional bail and is due to reappear at Woolwich Crown Court on January 28 alongside eight other defendants.
