A man charged with the murder of solicitor Pat Finucane in Belfast in 1989 is alleged to have told undercover police officers posing as drug dealers that he felt no regrets about the shooting because he believed he was an IRA man.
Ken Barrett, who fled Belfast in 1999 after been branded a special branch agent, was taken back to to the North last week from his hiding place in England.
This afternoon, Belfast High Court refused Barrett's bail application on the grounds that his safety needed to be guaranteed under the European Convention and that he might commit further offences.
