Armagh man found not guilty of rape on day five of trial

A jury at the Central Criminal Court took just 40 minutes to find an Armagh man not guilty of raping a woman following a wedding reception five years ago.

The 39-year-old married man had denied that he raped a South Armagh woman on September 15, 2001 at a hotel in Monaghan. His acquittal by a jury of three women and nine men came on day-five of a retrial.
