'Disappeared' Gerry Evans to be buried today

The funeral of Gerry Evans - one of the Disappeared - is to be held in Co Armagh this morning.

Mr Evans went missing from Castleblayney in Co Monaghan in March 1979, when he was 24.

Seven weeks ago, after he had been missing for 31 years, his body was found in Co Louth.

It is believed he was kidnapped and murdered by the IRA.

His funeral will take place at 11pm at St Patrick's Church in Crossmaglen.
