Ballymurphy attacks continue – redux

The 4 men charged with the murder of Gerard Devlin appeared in the Belfast Crown Court on Friday, and denied all charges. Mr Justice Hart is to review the case on 12 October and three of the four were released on continuing bail, the fourth has not sought bail and was remanded in custody. Meanwhile the attacks in Ballymurphy connected to the case seem to be continuing, despite the apparent recent rapprochement, with the home of Gerard Devlin’s parents attacked last night and its reinforced front windows broken.
