PSNI pays damages to relatives of murdered UVF victims
Speaking outside the High Court, relatives of the murdered four said the settlement is not the end of the matter
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has paid undisclosed damages in connection with loyalist shootings in County Tyrone which left four Catholics dead.
Relatives of Charles and Teresa Fox and Kevin McKearney sued the police over the alleged involvement of state agents.
Along with John McKearney, they were murdered by the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) in two separate attacks carried out in Moy in 1992.
Kevin McKearney's widow, Bernie, said the settlement is "nice", but added: "Nobody is ever going to be held accountable.
Their solicitor, Gavin Booth, said the damages are "significant".
Charles and Teresa Fox were found shot dead at their home
The High Court in Belfast heard the settlement followed negotiations and that the families were "relieved" the civil case is over.
Addressing the court, Mr Justice Rooney said he hoped the settlement would provide "some closure".
Stating that four innocent victims had been brutally murdered, he added: "I can't imagine the pain and suffering you have gone through."
