The family of a Portadown teenager “sadistically” murdered and left in a quarry are to unveil a monument marking the spot where she was found 50 years ago.
The stone tribute sits on land, outside Aughnacloy, Co Tyrone, where Marian Beattie’s body was discovered following what police at the time described as “a most vicious and cruel murder with sadistic overtones”.
But the teenager’s family will use the 50th anniversary of Marian’s death, not just to remember her but to continue in their quest for the truth about what happened on March 31, 1973.
