Sergeant deliberately misled gardaí, court hears

A DETECTIVE garda sergeant investigating the gun murder of a tax inspector’s wife deliberately misled other gardaí, it was claimed in a High Court case yesterday.

Sergeant Cathal Cryan was investigating the brutal killing of Grace Livingstone, shot dead at her Malahide home on December 7, 1992.

A statement by the sergeant was used to decide on the subsequent arrest of the murdered woman’s husband, James Livingstone, for the possession of unlicensed firearms.
