Public inquiry needed, says son

THE STEVENS reports confirms everything the Finucane family has been saying since the murder of Pat Finucane in 1989.

But the difference between John Stevens and the Finucane family is that the London metropolitan police chief is going down the road of prosecutions, as opposed to calls for a public inquiry, according to the son of the dead solicitor.

Michael Finucane, who was present when gunman burst into the family’s north Belfast home and shot dead his father praised the report for its thoroughness and the fact Stevens appears to have put in a great deal of work.
