  • Martin O'Hagan had been at the height of his journalism career when he was brutally executed in the street by members of a loyalist paramilitary gang in September 2001. His last act of bravery was to sheild his wife from the bullets that took his life.
    The Sunday World reporter's brave exposes, hard hitting articles and insightful investigations into the dark underbelly of Northern Ireland's paramafia gangs sadly sealed his death warrant.
    But could his murder, carried out by the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF), been prevented? And what's stopping police from bringing charges against those involved?
    In this epsiode, Martin's brother Fintan O'Hagan talks about the fight for justice for Martin whose killers have been allowed to roam free despite those willing to give evidence against them. And he talks openly about why he believes the courageous journalist has not only been let down by the authorities, but also by his own industry.

    This is absolutely horrific and deeply troubling when one considers the states principal function to protect life. This man’s life was what was needed to be saved. They are absolutely abusing the trust needed for the intelligence officer to morally justify working as an agent.

    brilliant documentary .I knew Martin ,remember him from school ,know he was sympathetic to the stickies as was I .I ended up emigrating to New Zealand ,back in NI now .I Think the british have such a sense of entitlement ,that collusion is not seen as a moral problem. Kia Kaha (keep strong Maori) to fintan and a brilliant interviewer .

      Wasn’t the rumour about Marty being a stickie intelligence officer one of the reason why he was murdered ?
