RTT- Raidió Teilifís Taeunas

RTT-

The President called for an investigation to explain how military weapons from outside the nation ended up in the hands of the Woogie Cultists outside of Belfast. Two of the six wounded Garda have been released from the hospital, and the cult members that were captured have waved all pre trial apperances, saying the government of Taeunas has no authority to judge them.

The five HCT troopers that took part in the raid after Garda officers were pinned down were awarded the Justice medal by Minister Michelle O'Neill. "These men and women have shown the highest regard for others above themselves. For this, the nation is grateful to know we have such capable and vigilant hero types among us."

Cpl. Eoghan Ó Faoláin, leader of the team, and his troops accepted their medals at a ceremony in Belfast. The soldiers made no speech of any kind, but instead went to the hospital and gave their medals to the wounded officers. When asked why, Cpl. Ó Faoláin said only this "It's our job to face fire only when needed. These officers do it every day. They are the true heros."


There was a large building fire just outside the Walker City limits at Ottawa Excavators Incorporated Sunday night. Cooper, Marne and Walker fire departments were all on scene.

Responders told RTT that the fire started around 8 p.m. Neighbors reported hearing an explosion and when firefighters arrived, a large maintenance building was engulfed in flames. It took firefighers nearly an hour to stop the fire. No one was inside the building at the time of the fire and no one was injured, said responders.

The owner of Ottawa Excavators told RTT they had just been on the property around 6 p.m.

Firefighters will be on scene well into the night working with a crane to remove debris from the charred building.


It will be a year next month since Mark Moore was stabbed from behind at the Sidhe Motel on Alpine and Three Mile Road. It will be at least three more months until Moore's family will learn if they'll get the justice they seek. Their patience is wearing thin.

"We are not asking for vengeance. We are asking for justice," said Moore's sister, Stacia Barnes, reading statements from various family members after Friday's competency hearing for accused killer Jack Jacqmain.

Barnes and Moore's wife, Jarrin, made the trip from Inishfree to hear whether a judge would order Jacqmain to stand trial for the stabbing. Investigators say there was no provocation for the stabbing.

Moore, who lived in Inishfree, was in town installing cell phone towers. Jaqcmain, who has a history of mental problems, allegedly stabbed Moore several times in the back. Jacqmain is charged with murder. But a county psychiatric examination determined that, as of right now, Jacqmian could not assist in his own defense. Until that time, there will be no trial. An 1575 article in the Taeunas Criminal Law Annual Journal suggest competency evaluations for suspects only happens in about 8% of felony cases in Taeunas. There is a chance further treatment will work and Jacqmain will be sent to trial.

"They find he has exhibited improvement in his mental thought status from the last progress update from March," said Repulic Judge Peter Versluis, reading from a Taeunas National Forensic Center report.

National law maintains the trials can continue to be postponed, as long as there's evidence the suspect is making progress. Still, the process can be frustrating for families seeking justice. Justice delayed is not easy to explain to Moore's young daughter.

"She misses her daddy everyday," her mother, Jarrin, told RTT. "Mark was murdered on the 18th. And there's not an 18th day of every month, every holiday, birthday, ballgame that isn't painful for us," Barnes said. "All we hear is that Jacqmain has his rights. Where are Mark's rights? Yeah, we have a problem with the current laws."

The judge ordered another competency hearing in 90 days.
