Omagh accused in 'memory loss' plea

The only man jailed in connection with the Omagh bombing in the North claimed today that his short-term memory loss would interfere with his right to a fair hearing in a retrial.

Colm Murphy (aged 53) a Co Louth builder and publican, is attempting to halt a retrial on conspiracy charges linked to the 1998 blast which killed 29 people, including a mother pregnant with twins.
