Gardaí don’t expect to find remains in excavation

GARDAÍ last night said they did not expect to find the remains of missing woman Fiona Sinnott in an excavation of a site in Co Wexford.

A garda team began a dig at a field in Killinick yesterday morning after a farmer reported that his land had been disturbed at the time of Ms Sinnott’s disappearance in February 1998.

The farmer had not reported it at the time of the 19-year-old’s disappearance and only came forward after a number of arrests were made in the Sinnott case last September.
