Documentary footage filmed by MTV prior to the shooting of journalist Lyra McKee has been played at the opening of the trial of three men accused of her murder.
Peter Cavanagh, 35, of Mary Street, Derry; Jordan Gareth Devine, 23, of Bishop Street, Derry; and Paul McIntyre, 56, of Kells Walk, Derry, are charged with Ms McKee’s murder. “The gunman was accompanied to the firing point by a number of men who intentionally, we say, encouraged or assisted him,” he said.
Yates and the crew had left the riot scene shortly before the shots were fired on the night Ms McKee was killed, the court heard. Mr McDowell told the court that Saoradh saw the documentary as an opportunity to promote its message of resistance.
