Pat Finucane murder - Justice denied

Decades on from the murder in front of his wife and three children of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane, his family’s tireless quest for justice remains — thanks to yesterday’s unsatisfactory Supreme Court ruling in London — unfinished.

The judges found that, as Mrs Finucane has argued, there has been never been a comprehensive inquiry into her husband’s death at the hands of a loyalist terror squad and, indeed, that the “unequivocal” pledge of a public inquiry made by the then UK prime minister David Cameron was not kept.
