I will reveal more UVF touts: McCord

The crusading father of a loyalist murder victim last night vowed to reveal the names of more informers within the UVF.

Raymond McCord, whose son Raymond Jnr was battered to death in 1997, says he will expose senior figures in the terror group who also operated as agents.

It was Mr McCord's fight for justice that led to the unmasking of notorious Mount Vernon UVF boss Mark Haddock as a Special Branch informer.

Now the north Belfast man said he will publicly name suspected agents - despite UVF death threats - after the publication of the Police Ombudsman's report into his son's murder.

Said Mr McCord: "I think now is the time for me to expose the senior members of the UVF who directed murder and committed murder while operating as Special Branch agents.

"These individuals know who they are and everyone knows they have also acted as informers.

"I can stand over every claim that I make."
