Morris: False death threat witness 'seemed traumatised'

A witness who falsely alleged he had received a death threat with a silver bullet seemed genuinely traumatised when he reported the incident, a Sligo garda inspector said today.

Gerard Connolly told the Morris Tribunal into garda corruption in Donegal he and Detective Garda Michael Reynolds went to Bernard Conlon’s house in the early hours of July 21, 1998, an hour after the alleged incident.
