Belfast: The court’s been buzzing about the murder of Sean Brown, a Gaelic games official, and how it’s been swept under the rug for over 30 years. A barrister for his family really laid it out, saying this whole situation is a huge embarrassment for the British state.
They’re pushing for a public inquiry into his 1997 murder, which has some serious ties to state agents. It’s wild to think that after all this time, no one has faced justice for what happened to him.
Sean was just 61 when he was taken by loyalist paramilitaries while locking up his club. His widow, Bridie, has been in court 57 times now, still searching for answers. It’s heartbreaking to see her fight for justice, especially at her age.
The government is trying to block the inquiry, claiming it’s not necessary. But the family’s lawyer argues that this is the only way to get to the bottom of things. They’re saying the judge’s decision to order the inquiry was spot on, and it’s the only way to uncover the truth.
It’s been a long road for the Brown family, and they’re not backing down. They want to know why no one has been held accountable and why the truth has been hidden for so long. It’s a tough situation, and the court is still figuring out what’s next.
With so many people linked to the murder, including state agents, it raises a lot of questions. The family just wants to see justice served, and it’s about time the truth comes out.
