A life sentence has been imposed upon a 28-year old man after he admitted 'aiding and abetting' the murder of Malcolm McKeown.
As all four defendants sat in the dock on Monday, a barrister for one of the accused addressed Mr Justice Fowler. From Bridge Street in Banbridge, Martin confirmed his identity to a court clerk and was then charged with murdering Mr McKeown.Following this, Mr Justice Fowler spoke to Martin and said: "As a result of your plea of guilty to murder, there is only one sentence that I can impose and that is a sentence of life imprisonment.
When the non-jury hearing was opened last week, the Crown made the case that Martin was one of two men captured on CCTV in Lurgan fleeing from a burned out Passat believed to have been used in the murder.
