Murder accused tells court he made up stories out of fear

A Meath man attempting to clear his name over of the killing of Una Lynskey almost 40 years ago claims he “made up stories” about events on the evening the young woman disappeared “out of fear” and “under duress”.

The Court of Criminal Appeal today heard Martin Conmey told investigating Gardaí “what they wanted to hear” in a bid to “get them off” his “back”.
