Appeal case hears evidence from former garda
A former “murder squad” member told the Court of Criminal Appeal today that “no violence whatsoever” was “ever” used against a Meath man, by gardaí investigating the disappearance of Una Lynskey almost 40 years ago.
Chief Superintendent John Courtney, now retired, but formerly of the Garda Technical Bureau, also told the three judge court that Martin Conmey was not in custody “at any time” during the 45 hours he spent at a garda station in the days after the young woman’s disappearance in October 1971.
