Belfast solicitor was shot by loyalist paramilitaries in front of his family in 1989

The UK Labour party has urged British prime minister Boris Johnson to “act without delay” and order a public inquiry into the murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane.

In February last year, the UK Supreme Court ruled that investigations into the fatal shooting of the solicitor have not been effective and fell short of international human rights standards. Shadow secretary of state Louise Haigh met with the Finucane family last week and has pledged her support.“That this crime could happen at all in our country is shocking; that it has never been investigated to a lawful standard is unjustifiable,” she wrote.
