Missing man’s father rejects IRA statement
Mark O’Connor said he was “100% convinced” the Provisional IRA abducted his son and then killed him.
Accusing republicans of lying about the disappearance of his 24-year-old son, Gareth, he demanded: “I would like them to come clean and, if my son is dead, give me back his body so I can give him a Christian burial.” The missing man vanished on a Sunday while driving from his home in Armagh City to Dundalk to report to police as part of his bail conditions while awaiting trial on a charge of belonging to an illegal dissident republican group.
