RUC attacked by gun victim's wife
The wife of murdered taxi driver John McColgan has reacted angrily to claims by the RUC that they were keeping the McColgan family informed about how the investigation, into John's killing, is developing.
She intends to lodge an official complaint.
33 year old John McColgan was shot in the head five times by loyalists in January 1998. During the inquest into his death the coroner asked one of the RUC officers if they were keeping the family informed of developments and he replied ``yes''.
However, Rosemary Dornan, Mr McColgan's sister, claims that the RUC have not contacted the family since February last year and has also said that the family have been left with the feeling that ``absolutely nothing'' has been done about the killing''.
Mrs Dornan has said that the family cannot understand how it took the RUC so long to arrive at the murder scene when the ambulance was there in four minutes.
``We also can't understand why they didn't set up any roadblocks. They knew the killers were driving John's car and there were only two escape routes from the area'' she said.
