Mr. Michael McConville:
He sort of picked a row with me. At the time, Charlie Armstrong's body had not been found and Gerry Evans's body was not found. Their loved ones were scared to speak out about this. I spoke out about it and this person turned around to me at the start and said "You think that the IRA knows everything that happens in Crossmaglen and you are blaming us for taking Gerry Evans and Charlie Armstrong away and murdering them." I said that there were no other paramilitaries down there only the IRA. I said it was they who murdered them. I said they could deny it all they wanted and it broke out from there, nearly into a row.
