Murdered dissident's family to meet security chief

Relatives of a dissident republican who claim MI5 has information on his brutal murder are to meet the Government's key security service adviser, it was confirmed last night.

Alex Carlile will travel to the North to meet the family of Real IRA member Kieran Doherty who was abducted, stripped and murdered by the grouping, before his body was dumped on a roadside on the outskirts of his native Derry in February.
