NI prison service suspends officer
A PRISON officer has been suspended and a criminal investigation begun after a note with details concerning the then governor of the North’s main jail was planted in the cell of a republican suspect.
The finding was made by Pauline McCabe, the Prison Ombudsman, following her investigation into the incident involving Brendan McConville, who is being held in Maghaberry Prison. He is charged with the murder of PSNI constable Stephen Carroll in Craigavon, Co Armagh, in March 2009.
