The brother of a schoolboy shot dead by the IRA says he was failed “at every level”.
Bernard Teggart was only 15 when he was abducted and murdered by the terror group in 1973.
The IRA denied being involved in the killing, but admitted it and apologised in 2004 and again in 2008. However, the teenager’s death was raised again today when it was introduced at the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry where it was described as the “most horrific” case of child abuse being considered by the probe.
Bernard Teggart was abducted from St Patrick’s Training School in West Belfast before being shot in the head some hours later. He later died in hospital.
