Loughlin Maginn

Loughlin Maginn 28 years, Rathfriland, County Down, shot dead in his home on 25 August 1989. The UDA/UFF said they carried out the shooting, claiming that Mr Maginn was an IRA member. After his family rejected the allegation the UFF released a video showing Mr Maginn’s photograph and details contained on an RUC intelligence document. The video was taken inside a British army barrack. In 1992 two members of the British army’s Ulster Defence Regiment were convicted for their roles in the killing of Mr Maginn. For some time before his death Mr Maginn suffered from harassment and intimidation from members of the British Crown forces.
