Verdict due in Omagh bomb trial

Twenty-nine people died in Omagh bombing in August 1998 The judge in the Omagh bomb trial has said he will deliver his verdict on Thursday.

Sean Hoey, 38, from Jonesborough, County Armagh denies a total of 56 charges, including the murders of 29 people killed in the 1998 bombing.

His trial at Belfast Crown Court lasted for 56 days and ended in January.

The prosecution case against Mr Hoey hinges on DNA evidence, but this has been robustly challenged by his defence team who believe it is unreliable.
