Kinnear had over the years been instrumental in the investigations into the criminal underworld.
Killian’s lawyers intended to bring a bail application, but the State plans to oppose it.
The man accused of having pulled the trigger was still on the run, and it was not yet known who gave the order for Kinnear to be assassinated.
Kilian’s case was postponed until 5 October.
