Family of murdered Donegal man give up hope of new inquest

Henry Cunningham (16) from Carndonagh had been a passenger in a van bringing Protestant and Catholic workmen home from a Belfast building site on August 9th 1973.

It later emerged that the gun used in the attack was stolen from a UDR base in Lurgan.
