Murder trial witness denies lying

A witness in the trial for murder of two Cork men has denied he is not telling the truth due to pressure from the family of one of the accused.

Thomas Morey was giving evidence at the Central Criminal Court in the trial of Cecil Lynch (aged 26) of St Declan’s Road, Gurranabraher and Jerry Ross (aged 27) of St Philomena’s Road, Gurranabraher who both deny murdering Mr Butler on October 7, 2002 at Gurranabraher Road.
