Family of murdered Paul Quinn to step up campaign

The family of Paul Quinn, the south Armagh man murdered in Co Monaghan in October, said they will step up their campaign to find his killers in the New Year with meetings in London, Belfast and Dublin.

The family of Paul Quinn, the south Armagh man murdered in Co Monaghan in October, said they will step up their campaign to find his killers in the New Year with meetings in London, Belfast and Dublin.

They said the murder "cannot be hushed up", and they have organised talks with politicians across Britain and Ireland.

After last night's meeting in Crossmaglen, south Armagh, the family said they would be stepping up political and community action.

The public meetings so far, they said, were intended to give the community a voice in expressing its outrage at the brutal killing.

In the New Year, the Quinn family will carry that message to political leaders and opinion-formers in Dublin, London and Belfast.

They said they had no wish to confront anyone other than those who had "viciously slandered" the dead man as a criminal.

The family also said the killing was the result of organised action by a local paramilitary unit which continued to function.
