Murderer to give evidence at death inquest

A convicted murderer in jail in England is to be called to give evidence at the inquest into the death of a Co Tyrone teenager he was acquitted of murdering, a coroner ruled today.

Serial sex offender and child abuser, Robert Lesarian Howard is serving a life sentence for the murder of 15-year-old schoolgirl Hannah Williams, whose body was found by channel tunnel workmen near Northfleet, Kent, a year after she disappeared in 2001.
