Sligo driver found not guilty of causing baby’s death in Fermanagh

A Dungannon Crown Court jury yesterday found a Co Sligo student not guilty of causing the death of an 18-month-old infant by driving without due care and attention in Co Fermanagh almost three years ago.

When the unanimous verdict was given before Justice Madam McBride, Ryan Cox’s parents Katriona and Peter Cox wept and shook their heads in disbelief.

John Fahy, aged 25, Grogagh, Grange, Co Sligo, denied a charge of causing the death of Ryan Cox by driving without due care and attention, at Boa Island Road on January 14, 2013.
