Murder of Jean McConville
Jean McConville (née Murray; 7 May 1934 – December 1972)〔("Jean McConville's daughter 'will give names'" ). RTÉ News. 2 May 2014; accessed 17 May 2014.〕 was a woman from Belfast, Northern Ireland, who was kidnapped and shot dead by the Provisional IRA and secretly buried in County Louth in the Republic of Ireland in 1972. She was accused of passing information to British forces.〔McKittrick, David (2001), ''Lost Lives: The Stories of the Men, Women and Children who Died as a Result of the Northern Ireland Troubles''. Random House. p. 301〕〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-33005771〕
In 1999, the IRA acknowledged that it had killed McConville and eight others of the "Disappeared".〔("Jean McConville: The Disappeared mother-of-ten" ), BBC News, 1 May 2014.〕 It claimed she had been passing information about republicans to the British Army in exchange for money and that a transmitter had been found in her apartment. A report by the Police Ombudsman found no evidence for this or other rumours. Since the Irish War of Independence, the various IRAs had a policy of killing those it believed to be informers.〔Melaugh, Martin. (Killings of Alleged Informers ), cain.ulst.ac.uk; accessed 5 May 2014.〕 During the Troubles, both Irish republican and loyalist paramilitaries carried out such killings.〔 As she was a widowed mother of ten, the McConville killing was particularly controversial. Her body was not found until 2003, and the crime has not been solved. The Police Ombudsman found that the Royal Ulster Constabulary did not begin to properly investigate the disappearance until 1995.
==Biography==
Jean Murray was born on 7 May 1934 to a Protestant family in East Belfast but converted after marrying Arthur McConville, a Catholic former British Army soldier,〔Police Ombudsman: (Report (2006) into complaint by James and Michael McConville regarding the police investigation into the abduction and murder of their mother, Mrs Jean McConville (Page 3) ), cain.ulst.ac.uk; accessed 7 MAy 2014.〕 by whom she had ten children. After being intimidated out of a Protestant district by loyalists in 1969, the McConville family moved to West Belfast's Divis Flats in the Lower Falls Road.〔〔David McKittrick. ''The London Independent''. 25 September 2003〕 Arthur died from cancer in January 1972.〔
At the time of her death, Jean McConville lived at 1A St Jude's Walk, which was part of the Divis Flats complex.〔Police Ombudsman's report (2006), p.2〕 This was an IRA stronghold, from which attacks were regularly launched against the British Army and RUC. Since the death of her husband, she had been raising their ten children, who were aged between six and twenty. Their son Robbie was a member of the 'Official' IRA and was interned in Long Kesh at the time of her death; he would defect to the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) in 1974.
