Durkan: Sinn Féin trying to 'obscure' McCartney investigation

SDLP leader Mark Durkan has claimed the Sinn Féin leadership had been heavily involved in attempts to obscure police investigations into the killing of Belfast man Robert McCartney and suspected money-laundering.

Mr Durkan said republicans had used their manipulative powers and their position in local communities in a bid to divert attention from the events of the last number of days.
