Massereene Trial: Dominic McGlinchey Jnr vuole sporgere denuncia

Massereene driver claims ‘grossly unfair’

The son of murdered INLA leader Dominic McGlinchey is to make a complaint to the Director of Public Prosecutions, over allegations he was involved in the murder of two soldiers at Massereene barracks in March 2009.

Massereene BarracksDominic McGlinchey Jnr said the claims that he drove the getaway car following the Real IRA murders of Sappers Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey were “grossly unfair”.

The allegations were made in court by Colin Duffy’s defence lawyer, Barry MacDonald QC.

Mr MacDonald stated that police have “reliable information to indicate that a son of Dominic McGlinchey Snr was the driver of the vehicle which was … used in the fatal shooting of two soldiers in Antrim on 7 March 2009”.

Mr Duffy and co-accused Brian Shivers both deny murdering the soldiers as they collected pizzas with comrades outside their base.

In a statement released by Mr McGlinchey’s solicitor, he said he refutes the “unsubstantiated” allegations “in the most strenuous terms possible”.

He said he handed himself in to police, was arrested and interviewed for 13 days and later released unconditionally, with no attempts made to re-arrest him in connection with the double murder.

Mr McGlinchey, whose father Dominic was shot dead in Drogheda in 1994, said he and his family were “very upset” by the claims.

Earlier this week, the judge reserved his verdict on the murder case and said he hoped to deliver it as early as possible in the New Year.
