Inquiry into North mob murder will not be widened
A public inquiry into claims police failed to protect a Catholic man killed by a loyalist mob will not be allowed to widen its investigation, the North's Secretary of State Shaun Woodward ruled today.
Relatives of Robert Hamill, who was killed in Portadown, Co Armagh, in 1997, won a court challenge forcing Mr Woodward to consider extending the inquiry to cover the role of the Prosecution Service.
