The man who is testifying against his former alleged UVF comrades has been warned by the judge not to swear during his evidence.
Under cross-examination for the seventh day yesterday at Belfast Crown Court, Robert Stewart swore twice saying “f***ing” to Barry McDonald QC, defending.
When he swore for the second time, Mr Justice Gillen warned him that “it will not be tolerated” and Stewart apologised.
Stewart is giving evidence against 14 men, accusing nine of them of involvement in the murder of rival loyalist chief Tommy English in October 2000.
