A new book published by Whitecross man Eugene Reavey on the murder of his three brothers Anthony, John Martin and Brian in 1975 has been called an "act of defiance against silence and distortion" by Newry and Armagh MLA, Justin McNulty.
Mr McNulty has hailed the extraordinary courage of Eugene Reavey. “Eugene Reavey stands as a beacon of quiet courage and unbreakable resolve. In the face of unimaginable grief - the brutal murder of his three brothers in one of the darkest chapters of the North’s history - Eugene and his family chose not vengeance, but integrity. For decades, they carried their pain with dignity, confronting every obstacle and setback with unwavering truth.
“Now, half a century later, Eugene’s brave decision to share their story in a deeply honest book is not just an act of remembrance, but of defiance against silence and distortion. It is a testament to a family’s strength of character and a call for justice rooted in peace.
“Eugene Reavey is a man of extraordinary courage and outstanding character. I salute his bravery, and his determination tell the truth, and to pursue justice, no matter how uncomfortable that may make some people feel.”
