A former garda accused of intimidating a man wrongly arrested for murder failed to appear to give evidence at the Morris Tribunal today.

A GARDA officer yesterday said he never believed a man he stated was arrested for murder was involved in the actual alleged offence.

A garda sergeant said today he did not think the raised voices he heard during the interview of a female prisoner warranted his intervention.

Gardaí took nine months to probe claims a Raphoe man was framed for making sinister death threats with a silver bullet, it emerged today.
