Father of two points out garda he alleges attacked him while in custody

A FATHER-OF-TWO, who claimed he was assaulted while in custody at Letterkenny Garda Station, pointed out, at the Morris Tribunal yesterday, one of the detectives he alleges attacked him.

Detective Garda Martin Anderson stood from his seat at the back of the hearing room as Damien McDaid identified him from the witness box.

Waving his finger, Mr McDaid said: “He is the boy that hit me, he heaved me up the hall.”
