A MAN who was with Paul Quinn prior to him being beaten to death in an outhouse in Oram Castleblayney on October 20 last year has been warned that he too may be murdered by the same gang that killed Mr Quinn. The late Mr Quinn along with Brendan Nugent, 21, were set upon by the gang on arriving at the sheds at Tullycoora. While Paul Quinn was beaten to death Brendan Nugent was also severely beaten and was taken to Daisy Hill Hospital in Newry.

Police officers in the north have called to the home of Mr Nugent, in Cullyhanna under cover of darkness and delivered the written warning that they had received from intelligence sources. The PSNI intelligence stated that Mr Nugent was to be killed and branded as an informer.
