Pair found guilty over Father's Day killing
The wife of County Armagh man Paul Crymble, who was killed almost three years ago, and her lover, have been found guilty of his murder.
Jacqueline Crymble, 35 and Roger Ferguson, aged 21, were found guilty of killing the 35-year-old from Richill.
Colin Robinson, a friend of Mr Ferguson was found guilty of assisting an offender, however he was not convicted of murder. Mr Ferguson’s mother Dawn was found guilty of perverting justice by giving her son a false alibi.
The father of two from Richill was suffocated to death with a black plastic bag on Father’s Day, June 20 2004.
His badly beaten body was dumped in the back of his car and found abandoned in a country lane just a couple of miles from his County Armagh home.
His wife claimed four masked and armed men forced their way into their house on the Ballybrea Road and demanded drugs and money.
It took the jury less than four hours to find the pair guilty, at the end of a four-month trial.
