Omagh trial witness 'terrified'

A Co Armagh farmer who gave evidence by video link from Belfast was described by a judge at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin today as "terrified'' when he repeatedly said he could not remember working for Colm Murphy, the man accused of conspiracy in relation to the 1998 Omagh bombing.

Mr Justice Paul Butler, presiding, made his comment after Patrick Terence Morgan continually wiped his face and drank from a glass of water during questioning by prosecuting counsel Mr Tom O' Connell SC.
