Woman: Partner looked like a half-shagged monkey

The partner of a man, who is charged with stealing an ATM, using a stolen digger in Tubbercurry in 2014, told gardaí that he looked like “a half-shagged monkey” when he came to her home, within hours of the alleged theft.

Bridie Wynne, who was living in Coolaney at the time, said the hands of Bernard Quigley, with addresses at Branchfield, Drumfin, Teeling St, Tubbercurry and Lisnaskea, Co Fermanagh, were also covered in scrapes, in a statement to gardaí.

The witness yesterday agreed at Sligo Circuit Court saying that she might have said he looked “absolutely drowned”.
