Mr Harrason from H.E.T giving evidence

This Officer ran the team investigating & helped facilitated the meeting at the Pat Finucane Centre with the family & Helped facilitate the apology from the M.O.D.

Soldier A on being contacted refused to be interviewed as an HET witness - his Solicitor stated if arrested & cautioned intended to comply but not answer any questions under caution ! On making contact with Soldier B it was found he had sadly passed .. The H.E.T concluded no further progress could be made .

The Pat Finucance Centre again representing the family persued the findings of the H.E.T & contacted the P.S.N.I to re-open the case.

Sending documents from the H.E.T to P.S.N.I there are missing documents/emails from the case on the G-Drive unsure what has happened ...
