Relatives of Marion including her daughter on the right were in court

yesterday as he appeared in the dock. The suspect he was in a

:00:34.:00:40.

relationship is accused of murder and her friend Kathy. His father

:00:40.:00:45.

has been arrested. The lawyer representing the victims' families

:00:55.:00:57.

in Turkey says he believes he did not carry out the killings alone.

:00:57.:01:01.

asked the prosecutor to arrest him because his crime was done together

:01:01.:01:10.

jointly. The bodies of Marion and Kathy Key were found with multiple

:01:10.:01:16.

stab wounds in a forest in August. It's believed he was questioned by

:01:16.:01:21.

police but no more action was taken. Now, a witness has come forward

:01:21.:01:26.

with evidence that allegedly links him to the murders. The legal

:01:26.:01:33.

process still has months to go. This man, an uncle, spoke to

:01:33.:01:37.

reporters yesterday and said any charges would be contested. The

:01:37.:01:40.

police have changed their mind about the cause of a fire at a GAA

:01:40.:01:43.

club in Londonderry. Initially, investigating officers said the

:01:43.:01:48.

blaze at the Sean Dolan's Club in the Creggan was not suspicious. Now,

:01:48.:01:54.

after CCTV pictures have been made public, they say it was arson. The

:01:54.:01:57.

police are carrying out an internal review of the investigation. Kevin

:01:57.:02:06.

Sharkey reports. The roof gives a clue about the

:02:06.:02:10.

extent of the damage. Sinn Fein says the winged it gives another

:02:10.:02:15.

clue about the cause. They are blaming dissident republicans. From

inside, shadows can be seen through the glass. Minutes later, the

building goes up in flames. These grainy images may have been backed

the buyout said footage but it seems there is none. However, the

:02:31.:02:34.

politicians say the police were given this footage before deciding

:02:34.:02:40.

there was nothing suspicious. Sinn Fein is pointing to a flawed police

:02:40.:02:45.

investigation. Sinn Fein are demanding the society and everyone

Criminal evidence to protect. Police have not found anyone but

now it has changed and they are looking for someone or some people.

They are also looking at themselves at have a case has been

will include evidence gathered, CCTV and lines of inquiry followed

:03:42.:03:48.

should contact the police ombudsman. Details of behind the scenes talks

aimed at resolving the 1981 hunger strike are contained in

:03:51.:03:56.

confidential papers released today. The official documents also reveal

:03:56.:03:58.

that British government officials regarded Ian Paisley as a

:03:58.:04:03.

'destructive critic'. His then deputy Peter Robinson, now First

:04:03.:04:06.

Minister, is also quoted as warning there could be a civil war in

dominated by violence and the maze hunger-strike which sought 10 died.

:04:25.:04:28.

Official documents suggest the Prime Minister Mrs Thatcher

:04:28.:04:32.

considered a deal to bring the strike to an end but the reports do

:04:32.:04:36.

not fully corroborate claims made by a former republican prisoner

:04:36.:04:42.

that the IRA rejected a deal for political gain. There's nothing in

:04:43.:04:46.

the Stormont files although there is a hint in the London files that

:04:47.:04:51.

the British government conceded a deal but Margaret Thatcher was

:04:51.:04:55.

dissuaded by her secretary of state because he felt it would antagonise

the Unionists. One report suggests a prisoner was willing to end his

fast but his family insisted on the no medical intervention. Today, the

:05:06.:05:11.

family say the allegation was untrue and inaccurate. Another

government file on the then DUP leader Ian Paisley describes him as

destructive critic. His then deputy Peter Robinson is also reported to

have warned in 1981 of the Civil War before Christmas. It was a late

:05:27.:05:32.

night meeting, he was speaking as a fellow Ulsterman. He was worried

:05:32.:05:37.

about civil war. That sounds quite frightening but the official

:05:37.:05:40.

detected he want to engage in what the Anglo-Irish process was all

:05:40.:05:45.

about. The opening of the files does a number of things, it gives

:05:45.:05:49.

us an insight into the thinking of key players from 30 years ago, it

:05:49.:05:53.

gives us an understanding of the past and also may provide a sense

:05:53.:05:57.

of perspective. And remind us of how much more than Ireland has

:05:57.:06:01.

changed. Money has been stolen during a

:06:01.:06:04.

robbery in Omagh. Two people were driving along the main road between

:06:04.:06:07.

Omagh and Ballygawley when another car pulled alongside and signalled

:06:07.:06:10.

for them to stop. When they did, masked men wearing reflective

:06:10.:06:14.

jackets got of the car and demanded money. The victims were left badly

:06:14.:06:17.

shaken. A scheme which allows victims of

:06:17.:06:21.

domestic violence to access legal aid quickly is to be made permanent.

:06:21.:06:24.

Interim arrangements were put in place last year which made it

:06:24.:06:27.

easier for victims to get court orders to protect them and their

:06:27.:06:32.

children. Previously people looking for legal aid had to pass a means

:06:32.:06:41.

test to receive funding. Now, the weather forecast.

:06:41.:06:45.

It may have been a grim and wet day but temperatures have been rising

:06:45.:06:50.

steadily, especially as heavy rain moves away. This evening, not as

:06:50.:06:54.

wet as earlier, it is milder. Some patches of rain and drizzle blowing

:06:54.:07:00.

in. Through the night, extensive missed and low cloud. Further

:07:00.:07:05.

patches of rain. Temperatures hardly falling, nine or ten degrees.

:07:05.:07:10.

Tomorrow, it looks mild. Still cloudy and breezy with patches of

:07:11.:07:15.

rain and drizzle. Through the morning into the afternoon, it will

:07:15.:07:19.

not amount to much. There was a chance of something more persistent

:07:19.:07:25.

edging in. The temperatures are up to 12 degrees. For New year's Eve,

:07:25.:07:29.

if you are heading out, the rain clears away, still fairly mild. A

:07:29.:07:35.

few shells around. If you come in in the early hours, it will be

:07:35.:07:40.

turning colder. A chilly day with bright spells. Some could turn
