Suspect's signature on 'confession' genuine, say experts

Two handwriting experts today said Frank McBrearty Jnr was the author of a contested signature on an alleged confession into the death of a Donegal cattle dealer.

John Lynch, a former Detective Sergeant with the Gardaí, said he was satisfied the signature on the disputed statement was that of Mr McBrearty Jnr after comparing it with 16 signatures from direct debits and other correspondence from the Donegal publican.
