Officer describes scenes of Omagh bomb carnage

BODIES floated down the street after the Omagh bombing blew apart a water main, the trial heard yesterday.

One woman’s leg was partially cooked by the 1998 Real IRA explosion and another victim had his jaw blown off amid scenes of pandemonium in the Co Tyrone town.

The graphic details were outlined by police witnesses at the Belfast Crown Court trial of Sean Hoey, 37, who is accused of murdering 29 people, as well as a string of other attacks.
