Robbery charge against McCrory formally dismissed
35-year-old Barry Joseph McCrory had claimed that his robbery bid on the Santander Bank was little more than a ‘protest against capitalism’.
Mr McCrory was shot dead in the Shipquay Street flat of his girlfriend on October 10 when a lone gunman carrying a rucksack entered the city centre flat between 10.30am and 10.45am and ordered the female occupant into another room before murdering the Galliagh man.
The shooting sparked a manhunt on both sides of the Londonderry-Donegal border for the alleged gunman, 58-year-old Kieran McLaughlin, who was later apprehended and arrested in the Galliagh area.
