The Public Prosecution Service (PPS) can confirm a decision has been taken to prosecute one individual for the murder of three Royal Ulster Constabulary officers more than 40 years ago.
Sergeant Sean Quinn and Constables Allan McCloy and Paul Hamilton died after an explosion at Kinnego Embankment in County Armagh on 27 October 1982.
The decision issued in April 2024 following receipt of an investigation file from Operation Kenova. Details have been made public following the arrest by An Garda Siochana of an individual in the Republic of Ireland.
A PPS spokesperson said: “Following careful consideration of all the available evidence in a file submitted by Operation Kenova, the PPS took a decision to prosecute one individual in relation to the 1982 murders of Sergeant Sean Quinn and Constables Allan McCloy and Paul Hamilton.
“As proceedings are live it would not be appropriate to comment further.”
