Man convicted but later cleared of Omagh bombing charges denies putting assets beyond reach of families

A man convicted and later cleared on appeal of involvement in the 1998 Omagh bombing has denied in the High Court he has put several of his assets beyond the reach of the families of the bomb victims.

Former building contractor, Colm Murphy (65), of Plaster, Mount Pleasant, Dundalk, Co Louth, was being cross examined in proceedings by the relatives aimed at identifying assets which Mr Murphy holds so that a st£1.6m judgment against him can be satisfied.
