Public urged to break silence over teen's murder

Intimidation is forcing those with knowledge of the IRA’s abduction and murder of a Northern teenager to keep quiet, the Democratic Unionist Party leader said today.

Ian Paisley said the wall of silence since the 1975 kidnapping and death of Columba McVeigh, 17, who was accused of being an informer for the British Security Forces, had been responsible for years of torment for his family.
