Three weeks later, Donna Maguire (24) and Paul Hughes (26) from Newry, Seán Hick (30) from Glenageary, Co Dublin, and Gerard Harte (26) from Lurgan were charged with the double murder. The prosecution claimed that the four planned the killings, arranged forged passports and driving licenses, a getaway car and a safe house.
The court heard that Maguire, then the most wanted female terrorist in Europe, was a key figure in the operation. Eyewitnesses also provided testimony. Despite what the prosecution believed was a strong case, only Harte was convicted and his conviction was overturned on appeal.
