The Ministry of Defence has been asked to respond to claims a military intelligence officer accompanied a notorious loyalist killer at the scene of a policeman’s murder.
The claim was made at the first preliminary hearing of an inquest into the shooting of RUC sergeant Joseph Campbell outside Cushendall RUC station in Co Antrim in 1977.
UVF killer Robin ‘the Jackal’ Jackson, now deceased, has long been suspected of involvement in the murder of the 49-year-old father-of-eight.
