The Quinn family appealed for anyone with information on the killing to come forward.

They maintain he was killed by the IRA because of a personal feud with one of its members and have rejected claims by senior Sinn Fein figures that the incident was linked to fuel smuggling.

The family of a man beaten to death by a masked gang will attend a public meeting tonight to encourage people with information on the killing to come forward.
