McConville’s daughter will risk life to name killers

One of the daughters of Jean McConville has said she is prepared to risk her life by revealing the identities of the 12 people she believes are responsible for her mother’s death more than 40 years ago.

Mrs McConville, 37, a widow and mother-of-ten, was seized from her home in the Divis flats in west Belfast, interrogated, shot in the back of the head and then secretly buried by an IRA gang in December 1972.

Her body was found on a beach in Co Louth years later, in 2003, 80km from her home.
