Body found in Disappeared search removed from bog as family watches

The body of a man believed to be one of the IRA’s Disappeared victims was moved from a bog in Co Meath yesterday as family members looked on.

Remains thought to be those of newlywed Brendan Megraw, from Twinbrook, west Belfast, were discovered by a drainage ditch in the middle of Oristown bog, Co Meath, on Wednesday.

Following preliminary examinations at the scene, the remains were placed in a wooden coffin yards from where his brother Sean was being comforted by relatives.
