Galway Bay fm newsroom - The jury has been sworn-in at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin for the trial of a Latvian man accused of the murder of a fellow Latvian man in Glenamaddy in July 2011.
31 year old Andrejs Krauze, with an address at Dudley Heights, Glenamaddy, is accused of murdering 30 year old Juris Buls, whose body was discovered in woodland two weeks after his disappearance.
Juris Buls was last seen on July 7th, 2011 when he left for work at Titan Plastics in Glenamaddy.
He was missing for over two weeks when Gardai discovered his body in a wooded area near Creggs, about 10km from the town.
A post mortem examination revealed he had been strangled.
Andresj Krauze fled to Latvia after the murder, but was arrested there in January 2016 after Tuam Gardai travelled to his home country.
Today at the Central Criminal Court a jury of six men and six women was sworn in.
Justice Patrick McCarthy told them the trial would begin on Wednesday, in front of Justice Margaret Heneghan.
