'New lead' in Donaldson inquiry
http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/northern_ireland/foyle_and_west/7873993.stm Version 0 of 1. Gardaà have said they are following a new line of inquiry in their investigation into the murder of Denis Donaldson. A preliminary inquest into the death of the former Sinn Féin official and British agent took place in County Donegal on Thursday. The 56-year-old was shot dead dead at an isolated cottage near Glenties in April 2006. The inquest into his death has now been delayed until 2010. No-one has ever been charged with the murder. Mr Donaldson was expelled from Sinn Féin in December 2005 after admitting he was a paid spy. He then moved from his Belfast home to live as a recluse in a cottage without electricity or running water. It is the second time the inquest into Mr Donaldson's death has been delayed. |
