Saulite case garda sues authorities for bullying

A garda involved in an investigation relating to Latvian woman Baiba Saulite who was murdered by a gunman outside her home, is suing Garda authorities for alleged bullying and harassment.

Garda Declan Nyhan, who is attached to Swords Garda Station, has sued for damages for alleged bullying and harassment. He also alleges he was not paid while he was on sick leave. The claims are denied.

Baiba Saulite, a Latvian and a mother-of-two, was shot by a lone man as she stood in the hallway of her home at Holywell Square, Feltrim Road, Swords. Her sons, aged three and five, were asleep upstairs when the shooting occurred in Nov 2006.
