South Armagh man fails to have Omagh charges dismissed

A judge in the North has ruled that sufficient evidence exists to press ahead with the trial of a south Armagh man accused of murdering the 29 victims of the Omagh bombing.

Thirty-nine-year-old Sean Hoey, from Molly Road in Jonesboro, is facing a total of 61 charges connected to alleged dissident republican bomb attacks, including the 29 Omagh murders.
