Sean Brown murder inquiry appeal to be fast-tracked

Advertisements

An appeal against a ruling ordering the Northern Ireland secretary of state to set up a public inquiry into the murder of GAA official Sean Brown has been fast-tracked to a hearing next week.

The UK government is challenging the judicial direction issued last month after it was found to be in breach of a human rights duty to investigate the full extent of state collusion in the May 1997 killing.

Mr Brown, 61, was abducted by loyalists in Bellaghy, County Londonderry, and shot near Randalstown, County Antrim, in May 1997.

No one has ever been convicted of his murder but a previous inquest was told that state agents had been involved.
