Sisters hit out at probe into murder cover-up<br />
---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
(IE Tribune) The McCartney sisters have expressed serious concerns about<br />
how the North's police ombudsman is handling a complaint they made about<br />
the PSNI investigation into the IRA murder of their brother Robert.<br />
Catherine McCartney said: "We've been through the motions of a trial that<br />
was never going anywhere. If there's a similar charade from the ombudsman's<br />
office, then we won't go along with it. "If we aren't satisfied that the<br />
ombudsman is investigating every aspect of our complaint against the PSNI,<br />
we will withdraw that complaint and pull out of the process."<br />
Father-of-two Robert McCartney (33) was beaten and stabbed to death by the<br />
Provisionals outside Magennis's bar in Belfast city centre in January 20<strong>05</strong>.<br />
Three men were later charged in connection with the killing.<br />

Hamill report publication delayed<br />
---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
(Belfast Telegraph) police in Northern Ireland handled the sectarian murder<br />
of Catholic man Robert Hamill.<br />
Secretary of State Owen Paterson said the public inquiry's report, which<br />
was expected to be released within weeks, had to be shelved following the<br />
recent decision to proceed with prosecutions against three people,<br />
including a former police officer, in connection with the case. Mr Hamill,<br />
25, was beaten to death by a loyalist mob in the predominantly Protestant<br />
town of Portadown, Co Armagh, in 1997 as he walked home after a night out<br />
with friends.<br />
Controversy has focused on allegations that armed police at the scene<br />
failed to intervene to prevent the attack and that the Royal Ulster<br />
Constabulary (RUC) subsequently mishandled the investigation. No-one has<br />
been convicted of the murder of the father-of-three.<br />
