Bridie Brown, who is 87, says she wants to know why her husband was killed in 1997

The wife of murdered GAA official Sean Brown has said she is still looking for answers about why her husband was killed.

The 61-year-old was abducted and shot dead by of the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) as he locked the gates of Bellaghy GAA club, County Londonderry, in 1997.

Mr Brown's family have long campaigned for a public inquiry to get answers about his murder.

Bridie Brown said her husband "walked with both sides of the community" and doesn't know why he was targeted.

Earlier this month, the Court of Appeal affirmed a previous court ruling, compelling the UK government to hold a public inquiry into his killing.

The government said it intends to seek a Supreme Court appeal over the ruling.

There have been two police investigations and a Police Ombudsman investigation into Mr Brown's murder.
