Liam Adams, a younger brother of the Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams, has been found guilty of sexually abusing his daughter nearly 40 years ago.

The 58-year-old, from Bernagh Drive in Belfast, had denied all 10 charges - three of rape, three of gross indecency and four of indecent assault.

The attacks happened between March 1977 and March 1983 when his daughter Aine was aged between 4 and 9-years-old.

During a recorded interview, Aine Adams, who has waived her right to anonymity, told a detective that her mother and Uncle Gerry had confronted her father but he denied any wrong-doing.

Judge Corinne Philpott told the jury of nine men and three women to dispassionately consider all the evidence heard during the two-week trial at Belfast Crown Court.

She told them to 'discuss things without sympathy or prejudice'.
