Missing republican finally laid to rest

The funeral has taken place in Armagh of republican Gareth O'Connor - more than two years after he went missing.

The 24-year-old’s body was found in a car in a canal in Newry last weekend. Police believe he was abducted and murdered by the IRA.

O’Connor, a father of two, went missing as he drove to answer bail conditions in Dundalk in May 2003.

He had been charged with membership of the Real IRA.
