Murder probe was a shambles, claims sacked garda

A sacked superintendent said a murder investigation was “a shambles” when he took it over in Co Donegal in 1997, the Moriarty Tribunal heard today.

Supt Kevin Lennon, who was dismissed by the Garda Commissioner last summer, was critical of the former head of the Co Donegal garda division, chief supt Denis Fitzpatrick whom he began cross-examining today.
