Search for remains of IRA victim resume at bog site

GARDAÍ will this morning resume the search at a bog in Co Monaghan for the body of a teenager abducted, murdered and secretly buried more than 30 years ago.

As local gardaí moved in yesterday morning, a mechanical digger was brought to the remote site on the side of a mountain near Emyvale close to the border.

It is hoped the excavation of the site, expected to last four or five days, will lead to the discovery of the remains of 17-year-old Tyrone teenager Columba McVeigh.
