A man who claims he hijacked a van in Ballyclare after being attacked by paramilitaries has lost a legal challenge against his prison sentence
Lady Chief Justice Dame Siobhan Keegan said the sentence was neither wrong in principle nor excessive
Greg McCullough, 29, of Wynthorpe Grove, Newtownabbey, County Antrim, hijacked the van on 5 February 2022. The court heard McCullough had approached the victim in The Square area of Ballyclare, County Antrim, on 5 February last year and repeatedly stated: "Get out of the van before I stab you".Appeal judges were told that just before he took the van, a suspected paramilitary gang armed with a claw hammer allegedly chased and attacked him over an outstanding drug debt.
The court was told McCullough initially claimed he had been elsewhere at a house party when the hijacking occurred.
