A date for the retrial in the Jason Corbett murder case in the US, is due to be set today.

Molly and Thomas Martens are expected to go on trial next year, in relation to the Irishman's death.

Limerick man Jason Corbett was beaten to death at his home in North Carolina by his wife, Molly, and his father-in-law, Thomas Martens, in August 2015.

Both claim they were acting in self-defence, but a jury convicted them of second degree murder in 2017.

The North Carolina Supreme Court overturned the verdict last year and the pair were released.

However, a retrial is to be heard.

A date for it is due to be set today in Davidson Superior Court in North Carolina.

Molly and Thomas Martens have been living in the US since they were freed from prison last year.
