The wife of murdered solicitor Pat Finucane has said she is optimistic a public inquiry underway in Belfast will get to the truth of one of the most controversial killings of the Troubles.

Read excerpt
An inquiry into the murder of a Catholic man kicked to death by a loyalist mob in Co Armagh in 1997 has found that four RUC officers in a vehicle parked nearby did not collude with the attackers and could not have prevented the assault.
