Lindsay Robb Alleges collusion
republicannews: [17.2.2000] This week, another story of a set up hit the headlines. This time it wasn't about setting someone up to be killed, it was about sending them to jail. A convicted loyalist gun runner, Lindsay Robb, revealed that RUC Special Branch colluded with the UVF to fabricate evidence against a senior Lurgan republican. The republican was Colin Duffy, one of two men to survive the attack that killed Sam Marshall.
"My initial reaction to Robb's revelation was not one of shock or surprise,'' says Colin Duffy, "as people will know, I have said many times before that British crown forces, including the RUC, are colluding with loyalist killers. I stated as much in 1990 after the murder of Sam Marshall and the attempted murder of myself and Tony McCaughey." Read more
Colin Duffy
sept 96: The appeal begins today in Belfast in the case of Lurgan man, Colin Duffy, who was convicted of the murder of a former British soldier in 1993. Colin was sentenced to 20 years by Justice Kerr on the evidence of a mystery witness who gave evidence from behind a screen. A month later the mystery witness, Lindsay Robb, praised by the judge for his "honesty and impartiality", was arrested and subsequently convicted in Scotland on charges of gun running for the right wing paramilitary UVF. At his trial it emerged that Robb had been given 2000 pound sterling and a firearm by the RUC following his testimony in the Colin Duffy case. Link
