Committal proceedings in the case against two men from Douglas who have been accused of producing heroin to the Isle of Man have been delayed.
Frank Harrison, of Brisbane Street, and Shaun Robert Milligan, of Manor Woods, were due to have their case elevated to the Court of General Gaol Delivery yesterday (3 October).
They’ve been jointly accused of being concerned in the production of the Class A drug, and possession of it with intent to supply, on or about 17 July.

Mr Milligan, who is 47-years-old, appeared in court via live link from the Isle of Man Prison; 41-year-old Mr Harrison didn’t appear due to ill health.
