Supergrass trial resumes in Belfast
One of the main witnesses in the Supergrass Trial is due to take to the stand again at Laganside Courthouse in Belfast on Monday.
37-year-old Robert Stewart – who has already confessed to UVF membership and playing a role in the killing of UDA chief Tommy English, has turned Queen’s evidence against 14 of his alleged terrorist associates.
Former UVF leader and police agent Mark Haddock – plus 13 others – are standing trial at Belfast Crown Court on a litany of charges, many of them connected to the murder of Mr English in 2000.
On Thursday, Stewart denied being the UVF shooter responsible for the killing.
For a third day running Stewart clashed with defence QC Frank O’Donaghue, over discrepancies in what he originally told police in August 2008 when he and his brother Ian initially turned themselves in.
