Barrett admits murder, attempted murder, weapons possession, UFF membership

Ken Barrett - who today pleased guilty to the murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane - just nodded when asked to confirm his identity in court today, but when a series of charges, including Mr Finucane’s murder, were put to him, he replied quietly: “Guilty.”

He also admitted the attempted murder of Mrs Finucane, possessing weapons with intent to endanger life, membership of the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF), wounding with intent and the theft of a huge consignment of Army-owned guns in August 1987.
