Raymond McCord

Belfast man Raymond McCord has been campaigning since 1997 following the murder of his son Raymond junior by the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF).  Deeply angered and frustrated by the lack of interest coming from unionists politicians within his own community Raymond went on to carry out his own investigation, discovering that the murder of his son Raymond junior had been sanctioned by North Belfast UVF commander Mark Haddock.  Later discovering that Haddock was a police informer who wasn’t questioned for the killing of his son, Raymond McCord is one of the few voices within the unionist community who has publicly spoken out against collusion between the security forces and loyalist organisations.
