Bombing conviction quashed as ‘unsafe’ by appeal court
Colm Murphy, aged 52, was jailed for 14 years by the non-jury Special Criminal Court (SCC) in early 2002 for his role in the Omagh tragedy on the afternoon of August 15, 1998.
The builder and publican, of Jordan’s Corner, Ravensdale, Dundalk, Co Louth, appealed both his conviction and sentence in a hearing before Christmas at the three-judge court of appeal.
