Gardaí urge ex-partners to come forward over murder

Gardaí are appealing to people who were in relationships with members of a local IRA gang behind the savage murder of Paul Quinn 10 years ago to finally come forward.

Despite a massive cross-border investigation resulting in 23 arrests — 14 in the South and nine in the North — detectives have not gathered sufficient evidence to secure charges for the fatal beating of the 21-year-old.

Mr Quinn, from Cullyhanna, Antrim, was lured to farm sheds at Castleblaney, Co Monaghan, on October 20, 2007, where he was set upon by a gang of up to 10 masked men and left to die.
