ON THE 20th anniversary of the death of Aidan McAnsepie, his family have asked both governments reveal what they know about his killing.

Up to 800 people gathered in Aghaloo GFC grounds on Sunday past to commemorate the anniversary of Aidan, who was shot by a British soldier as he made his way to a GAA game at the club.

The day after the killing the Irish Government appointed Garda Deputy Commissioner Eugene Crowley to investigate the incident but results of the investigation were never released.

Aidan had previously claimed that he had been threatened by the security forces.

The army claimed McAnespie had been hit by a ricochet when the weapon had discharged accidentally as the soldier was moving the gun with wet hands.

Charges were initially brought against a Grenadier Guard for manslaughter but were dropped prior to prosecution.

Speaking to the Post after Sunday’s tribute Aidan’s mother Liz said: “We are absolutely honoured that Aidan’s name is remembered and held in such esteem 20 years on. I was particularly pleased that he is remembered by so many young people.”

His sister Elish added: “We now call on the Irish Government to make the Crowley Report public. It is important in the context of the peace process that the truth is told.

“Likewise, it is time too that the British Government revealed what really happened.”
