Brendan Megraw To Buried Alongside Parents

The funeral will take place today of Brendan Megraw, one of the Disappeared.

Mr Megraw's remains were found in October in a bog in Co Meath, some 36 years after he was abducted, murdered and secretly buried by the IRA.

He was 23-years-old.

Mr Megraw's body was returned to his family this week. A mass will be held for him in west Belfast, after which he will be buried alongside his parents in Glenavy, Co Antrim.
