Gardaí ‘threatened father with jail’
A FATHER-OF-SIX was threatened with 10 years’ imprisonment and warned his children would be taken away unless he changed a statement to identify two suspects in a botched death inquiry, it was claimed yesterday.
Sean Crossan was assaulted, shown graphic post mortem photographs, had his mouth spat in and was shouted and sworn at by gardaí in Donegal investigating the death of cattle dealer Richie Barron, the Morris Tribunal heard.
