Anniversario morte di John Brady: la famiglia non crede al Police Ombudsman

Brady family protest on first anniversary

A sister of a Strabane republican who died in police custody in Strand Road PSNI station last year has said she does not believe the Police Ombudsman’s investigation into his death will deliver the truth.

John Brady with Margaret and LornaLorna Brady made the comments following the first anniversary of the death of her brother, John, on Friday.

Ms Brady marked the anniversary by staging a protest outside the police station on Friday evening with supporters from the IRSP, Republican Network for Unity, and the 32 County Sovereignty.

The Strabane woman said she has been told the Police Ombudsman will deliver his report at the end of the month. “The latest we have heard is that it is due on October 26th but it has been delayed so many times now that we’ll have to wait and see.

“We were told it would be the end of July, then October 18th, and now October 26th. Each time you get yourself geared up for it because it is going to be very difficult and emotional. I have booked days off my work in the past thinking we were going to get the report because I know it will be a hard day.

“We are still waiting for answers and all we want is the truth about what happened to John,” she said.

Ms Brady also said she does not believe the report will get to the truth of her brother’s death. “I don’t think it will bring truth. If we do get to the real truth, I think it will take a long time and it will be a long hard road but we are prepared for that. No matter how long it takes we are determined to continue the campaign until we get the truth,” she said.

A spokesperson for the Police Ombudsman’s office said: “The investigation is complete and a meeting has been set up with Mr Brady’s family to discuss the findings.”
