Threats against victim's father

Raymond McCord has conducted a long campaign against the UVF

The father of a loyalist paramilitary murder victim has said he has received two new death threats.

Raymond McCord has conducted a long campaign against the UVF, which he said killed his son, Raymond Jnr, in 1997.

Mr McCord said that he believes the threats are related to his involvement in the Police Ombudsman's investigation into his son's murder.

"Elements of the UVF don't want me about when the report comes out," he told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster.

He said that he was taking the threats seriously, but that he would not be intimidated.

Mr McCord said that the report would "justify" what he had been saying for the last eight years.

Raymond McCord Junior, 22, a former RAF man, was beaten to death and his body dumped in a quarry.
