Inspector told about 'death threat' alibi, tribunal told

The claim gardaí weren’t aware a member of the extended McBrearty family had an alibi for the night he was alleged to have threatened a witness with a silver bullet is laughable, a former detective sergeant said today.

Detective Sergeant John White insisted he had told his Sligo colleague Inspector Gerard Connolly about the the alibi when it emerged in court in Letterkenny in relation to another case.
