The British government has announced that its planned inquiry into the loyalist murder of Co Armagh solicitor Rosemary Nelson will begin public hearings next month.

Ms Nelson, a 40-year-old mother-of-three, was killed in a car bomb outside her family home in Lurgan in March 1999.

She was best known for representing the Garvaghy Road residents in their battle with the Porrtadown Orange Order and, as a result, she was the target of loyalist death threats and hate campaigns.

Her family has accused the police and British officials of failing to take her concerns seriously, while there are also suspicions of security force collusion in the killing.

The British inquiry into her murder was established on the recommendation of retired Canadian Judge Peter Cory, who found that the evidence of possible collusion warranted further investigation.
