THE widow of murdered south Derry GAA boss Sean Brown is to sue the PSNI Chief Constable and the Ministry of Defence for damages over his death.
Solicitors acting for Bridie Brown have lodged legal papers with the High Court in Belfast over the case.
She is claiming damages for “wrongful acts/omissions, neglect and default of the defendants”.
Mr Brown was abducted by an LVF gang as he locked the gates of Bellaghy Wolfe Tones GAA club in May 1997.
The 61-year-old was bundled into the boot of a car and driven to Randalstown, Co Antrim where he shot six times and left to die of his injuries.
Some of those involved in the murder were British state agents, including one who was working for MI5.
Earlier this year Policing Board member Dolores Kelly accused the PSNI of protecting the killers because they were State agents.
However, Chief Constable George Hamilton denied the claims.
