Inquiry into Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane's 1989 murder set to begin

The murder of Pat Finucane is one of the most notorious of the Troubles.

The 39-year-old Belfast solicitor was shot dead at his family home in north Belfast in 1989 by UDA gunmen.

A series of investigations revealed collusion with the state. The first hearing of a public inquiry into the killing is set to take place soon – with Sir Gary Hickinbottom as chairman of the inquiry.

Pat Finucane’s family, including his son, Sinn Fein MP John Finucane, has long fought for an inquiry into the case to be opened.
