The Chief Constable did not know lawyers representing the PSNI in a civil action over the shooting of three Catholic brothers were questioning one of the victims’ cause of death, the High Court heard on Monday.
The three victims were shot after gunmen entered the family’s home in Whitecross, Co Armagh back in January 1976.
Their brother, Eugene Reavey, claims members of the Ulster Defence Regiment and the Royal Ulster Constabulary joined with a notorious UVF gang in the plot to murder the three victims and is seeking damages for negligence, misfeasance in public office and trauma from his alleged treatment in the aftermath of the attack.
Gavin Booth, Phoenix Law and Mr Reavey have given their reaction to the Irish News, with Mr Reavey stating that Chief Constable Jon Boutcher is an “honourable man” who has “kept his word.”
