The relatives of four people murdered after alleged security force collusion with loyalist paramilitaries in the North are suing the police.

The President of the Barr Tribunal, into the Abbeylara siege, says proceedings will continue at the inquiry tomorrow morning whether the gardaí like it or not.

Allegations that a loyalist killing spree was covered up to protect a top police informer intensified tonight as relatives of a murdered taxi-driver broke their silence.

THE bodies of Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells were found in a severely decomposed and partially skeletal state and were almost certainly not killed at the spot where they were found.
