Adams: ’Victim of the dark side’

Gerry Adams walked free from police custody claiming he had been a victim of the "dark side of the British system".

After four days of questioning over the 1972 murder of Jean McConville, and IRA membership, Mr Adams left Antrim police station by a rear exit as detectives passed a file on him to the Public Prosecution Service for decision on whether any charges would be brought in relation to the killing of the mother of 10.

Ms McConville’s son, Michael, said an outside police force should now examine the case.
