The Kincora whistleblower and abuse survivor Richard Kerr has said he will no longer give evidence to the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry, calling the process “grossly unfair”.
Richard Kerr was among a number of boys abused in the notorious Kincora children’s home in east Belfast after he became a resident in 1974.
The HIA inquiry, led by retired High Court judge Sir Anthony Hart, is investigating long standing claims that a high-ranking paedophile ring preyed on vulnerable boys during the 1970s.
Further claims have been made that UK security services knew about the abuse but did nothing to stop it, instead blackmailing the high profile offenders who were said to include politicians, judges, civil servants and police officers.
