Sean Brown. Surveillance on Mark Fulton lifted the night before the murder. “What is it that MI5 have to hide from the family? Who decided to lift surveillance on Fulton the day before the murder? Why have MI5 applied for 3 PII certificates on grounds of National Security?”

Applications for leave to apply for judicial review lodged in respect of the recently passed Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill. We contend that the Bill is unlawful, unconstitutional and represents a breach of the ECHR.

“London does not want another finding similar to the Ballymurphy inquest. It does not want its Prime Minister to be dragged to Parliament again to make an apology as an empty and hollow gesture. It is afraid of the independence of the courts in this jurisdiction” Kevin Winters

Sean Brown Inquest Original commencement dates in March and June 2023, both missed due PSNI failure to disclose documents. Deadline set for yesterday also missed. (family notified 22 minutes before court) Non-compliance with court directions now a strategy to avoid inquest

This report is a detailed analysis of a pathetic PSNI investigation and confirms a multitude of failings The failures including not arresting suspects or erecting a VCP on the Antrim/Whitewell Rd junction are a dictionary definition of collusive behaviour
