Photograph: Liam McBurney/PA WireThe widow of GAA official Sean Brown has secured High Court permission to challenge the UK government’s failure to act on calls to establish a public inquiry into his murder.
Mr Brown was abducted by a Loyalist Volunteer Force gang as he locked the gates at Bellaghy Wolfe Tones GAA Club in Co Derry in May 1997. The father of six was bundled into the boot of his car, taken to Randalstown, Co Antrim and shot dead. It was further contended that the Northern Secretary has acted unlawfully amid public concern at the potential involvement of agents in the murder.
