Fri 01 Jan 2009Sisters deny Hamill provoked assault
TWO SISTERS who were with Robert Hamill the night he was fatally assaulted in Portadown have denied suggestions he was part of a group of Catholics who uttered sectarian comments that may have provoked the assault, the Robert Hamill Inquiry has heard.
