Murder trial witness denies lying to court

A central witness in the case of a Co Cavan man on trial for murder has denied that he has lied to the court and tried to make himself look innocent and “detached” from the killing.

Tom McCall was giving evidence at the Central Criminal Court in the trial of Trevor McCabe (aged 35), of Mountpleasant, Ballyconnell, who has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Darren McGrath in May 2008.
