DNA 'links Omagh suspect to bombs'
30 August 2005

An electrician accused of the 29 Omagh bomb murders has been linked to three terrorist explosions by DNA evidence, a court heard.

A voice analyst also believes Sean Hoey, 35, may have telephoned through the warning on another attack weeks before the August 1998 Real IRA massacre.

As committal proceedings against Hoey, of Molly Road, Jonesborough, South Armagh, began at Belfast Magistrates Court it took more than 20 minutes to read out all 61 terrorist and explosives charges against him.

Hoey has been accused of involvement in a bombing campaign across Northern Ireland that culminated in the no warning strike on the County Tyrone market town. As well as killing 29 people, including a woman pregnant with twins, hundreds more were injured in the worst single atrocity of the troubles.
