SF man 'not contacted for statement on McCartney murder'
A former Sinn Féin councillor who was in the pub where the row that led to Robert McCartney's murder broke out has claimed the police have made no effort to take a statement from him.
Sean Hayes said he gave his name and contact number to police officers on the night of the murder, as did everyone else in the pub.
He said police called to his home the following day and he said he was prepared to make a statement via a solicitor, but he had not been contacted in the six weeks since then.
Mr Hayes also claimed the PSNI had failed to secure the bar as a crime scene and merely asked people to leave after they had finished their drinks.
Yesterday, Sinn Féin MP Martin McGuinness accused the PSNI of failing to properly investigate the murder and of tailoring its inquiries to cause maximum damage to Sinn Féin.
