Man denies Finucane murder

A MAN yesterday denied murdering Belfast lawyer Pat Finucane when he appeared in court.

Ken Barrett, 40, was arrested by detectives from Scotland Yard chief John Stevens' team examining alleged security force collusion with paramilitary killers in Northern Ireland.

Their inquiry centres on the assassination of Mr Finucane in February 1989 one of the most controversial murders in the history of the 30-year conflict.
