Manage episode 329297576 series 3321674
On March 5, 1996 John Fennell - a founding member of the republican paramilitary group the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) - was bludgeoned to death at a caravan park in Ireland.
The 40 year-old's brutal breeze block killing marked the second in a vicious internal feud that would see many others, including a nine year-old schoolgirl, lose their lives just two years before peace was brokered in Troubles-torn Northern Ireland.
In a powerful, raw and open interview, John's widow Deirdre Owens tells his story. Speaking indepth for the first time about losing her partner, and father of her 10 month old twin boys, she reveals how for 26 years she has been quietly fighting for not only justice, but also a proper investigation into his killing.
Despite being stonewalled by both the Irish and British authorities, she vows to continue to uncover the truth around his murder, even if it means doing it on her own. And she explains why she believes there was British State involvement in his death.
