Two other men were also returned for trial on lesser charges.

On Tuesday, a lawyer for the Crown told a court in Belfast that 48 hours would be needed to review materials.

The case, that is expected to last six weeks and hear evidence from 123 witnesses, will be reviewed on Thursday, but will not resume for at least a week.
