Loyalist visited his own murder spot

A former associate of ousted UDA chief Johnny “Mad Dog” Adair was assassinated at a spot where he had been taken by his killer two days earlier, a court heard today.

Mud found on Alan McCullough’s shoes was traced to land which he visited after having a meal with William Mo Courtney who later took charge of Adair’s UDA ‘C’ Company, Belfast Crown Court was told.
