Taxi driver tells of arrest ordeal

A taxi driver who claims he was arrested by troops on trumped-up rioting charges on Bloody Sunday never got his takings, wedding ring and watch back afterwards, the Saville Inquiry heard today.

Patrick Martin Norris said the personal property was taken from him after he was detained in the afternoon of January 30 1972 - the day 13 Catholic men were shot dead during a military operation in Derry’s Bogside - as he was on his way to pick up a fare.
