PROSECUTORS have betrayed victims of a loyalist death squad by dropping the case against them, Northern Ireland justice campaigner Raymond McCord said yesterday.

Mr McCord, whose son Raymond McCord junior was killed by the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) in November 1997, joined other victims’ relatives who spoke out against Wednesday’s decision.

He said he was sickened by the treatment of UVF commander-turned-supergrass Gary Haggarty.
