LVF link to Devlin murder

The gun used to kill GAA stalwart Gerry Devlin has been linked to previous LVF killings, according to RUC forensic evidence. Sinn Fein Six County Chairperson Gerry O'hEara has asked why it took over a week for the RUC to issue a statement linking the killing to the LVF.

The LVF is responsible for five murders since it grew out of the split in the UVF during the Drumcree stand-off in 1996. Despite the forensic evidence the LVF has yet to claim responsibility for any of the killings it has carried out.
