Police 'could not have stopped' Nelson's murder

Police could not have saved the life of murdered solicitor Rosemary Nelson given the determination of her killers, the North's former police chief Ronnie Flanagan said today.

The former Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) Chief Constable today gave a third day of evidence at the public inquiry into allegations of security force wrongdoing over the lawyer’s murder in a loyalist car bomb in 1999.
