A retired policewoman who worked with Scotland Yard has told of her meetings with Mary Lowry which led to vital evidence about the murder of Bobby Ryan.

Mary Lowry's son has described murder accused Pat Quirke as "in control most of the time, grumpy some of the time" and said he went around his mother's farm "as if he kind of owned the place".

A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of a part-time DJ whose body was found in a slurry tank two years after he went missing.
