OUR INVESTIGATIONS WILL CONTINUE SAY POLICE
Our investigations will continue, say police
The PSNI has issued a statement in the wake of last Thursday's judgment, acquitting south-Armagh electrician, Sean Gerard Hoey, of all charges connected with the 1998 Omagh bombing.
"The Police Service accepts the court's decision to acquit Sean Hoey of all charges against him and expresses its deep regret that the many victims and their relatives have not yet seen anyone made amenable for these crimes.
"The Service will study Mr Justice Weir's judgement in detail and will work to ensure that any organisational or procedural shortcomings are addressed. We also await the outcome of a Police Ombudsman investigation into two officers who gave evidence during the trial.
"But our primary focus will continue to be to bring all those responsible for these crimes, most notably the Omagh bombing, before the courts. Our investigations will continue and we would ask anyone with information about these crimes to come forward."
