Finucane murder pistol handed back to British army

A pistol used in the murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane was handed back to the British army by the RUC, previously unpublished papers show.

New details about collusion between the RUC and the loyalist killers who targeted the 38-year-old in 1989 have been revealed in a report.

The unseen chapter from the Stevens Inquiry is highly critical of the RUC’s “inadequate” investigation in the case.
