Retired detective urges colleague to admit mistreatment of sisters

A retired detective broke down in tears today as he urged his former colleague to come clean about the abuse of two sisters in garda custody.

The Morris Tribunal was briefly postponed at one stage as John Dooley became so upset recalling his role in the mistreatment of the women in a botched murder investigation. He initially admitted the two Donegal mothers – Roisin McConnell and Katrina Brolly – were abused when wrongly arrested during a probe into the death of cattle dealer Richie Barron ten years ago.
