PSNI chief says Sinn Féin criticism of force unfair and inappropriate

The North’s chief constable has said criticism of his force’s arrest of Gerry Adams was unfair and inappropriate.

The Sinn Féin president was questioned for four days at Antrim police station by detectives investigating the 1972 murder of Belfast mother-of-10 Jean McConville.

Police Service of Northern Ireland chief Matt Baggott said it would have been wrong to treat Mr Adams any differently from anybody else.
