SDLP slams SF refusal to urge witnesses to contact PSNI

SDLP councillor Pat McCarthy has criticised Sinn Féin's refusal to call on people with information about the Robert McCartney murder to come forward to the PSNI.

Mr McCarthy tabled a motion at Belfast City Council last night calling on witnesses to give information to the police, but Sinn Féin councillors abstained from the vote after its proposed amendment was rejected.
