Loyalist paramilitaries have been blamed for the attack in which eight people were also injured
A grieving brother has urged anyone with information about the Belturbet bombing, which claimed the life of his teenage sister 50 years ago, to "do the right thing" and come forward.
"Marie and I were blessed to have her as an on-call, live-in babysitter for Caroline whose birthday is December 29. Caroline was to have her first birthday the day after the bomb - her birthdays ever since have been tinged with sadness." "We have been denied justice and accountability concerning who was responsible for the bomb and nor are we clear upon why it was done," he said.
"As a family we have tried never to allow the events of that day to embitter us, we know that those who were involved in planning and also carrying out the bomb are not representative of a community." "We commend An Garda Siochana for the diligent and thorough way in which they have sought to advance the case in the last 12 months and more, we have a renewed hope that justice and accountability might yet prevail."
"Fifty years is a significant milestone and in many ways is a long time ago, however for those impacted by terrorism and other Troubles-related violence, it is a time that is frozen," he said.
