Adams' brother surrenders

A brother of Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams has turned himself in over charges that he sexually assaulted his daughter.

The scandal has embarrassed Sinn Fein, the major Irish nationalist party in Northern Ireland.

Liam Adams fled Belfast after being charged in November 2008 with 23 counts of abusing his daughter for eight years.

The daughter went public with her anger at Sinn Fein's inaction last week.

Gerry Adams demanded that his brother come out of hiding - and admitting he'd known about his abuse since 1987.
