'Murder' removed from Lennon plot charges

Two men accused of sending improvised explosive devices to Celtic manager Neil Lennon and other high profile supporters of the football club are no longer charged with conspiring to murder them due to insufficient evidence.

Trevor Muirhead and Neil McKenzie now stand charged with plotting to assault Mr Lennon, former MSP Trish Godman and the late Paul McBride QC, as well as various people at the premises of Cairde Na hÉireann, by posting devices they believed were capable of exploding or igniting.
