Woman ‘begged gardaí to stop cousin’s mistreatment’

A WOMAN begged with gardaí to stop the mistreatment of her cousin in custody, the Morris Tribunal heard yesterday.

Charlotte Peoples, 37, said she could hear her cousin Róisín McConnell being called a “lying bitch” by officers in the adjoining interview room in Letterkenny Garda Station.

“I thought they had done something to her. I was pleading with them to go in and stop what they were doing next door,” she said.
