Threatening letter sent to McCartney sisters
22/03/2005 - 07:27:29The family of murdered Belfast man Robert McCartney have received hate mail as a result of their campaign against Sinn Féin and the IRA, according to one of their cousins.
Gerard Quinn said a threatening letter was sent to the home of the dead man's sister while they were in the United States last week as part of their campaign to bring the 33-year-old's killers to justice.
Mr McCartney was beaten and stabbed to death outside a pub in Belfast on January 30, allegedly by senior IRA members.
His sisters have accused Sinn Féin of forming a conspiracy of silence to protect the killers.
