Murder of Thomas Oliver
Thomas Oliver was an Irish farmer, murdered by the Provisional Irish Republican Army in 1991.
==Overview==
A farmer with no connections to any paramilitary group or the security forces, Oliver was a 37-year-old father of seven children, and a native of Riverstown, County Louth, on the Cooley peninsula, near Dundalk. He was abducted by armed members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) near the border on 18 July and his body was found the following day near Belleeks, County Armagh.〔("Family of IRA victim forced to revisit the past: 'Tom Oliver was an innocent farmer murdered by the IRA, but was he callously sacrificed by British intelligence to protect their agent?'" ), theguardian.com, 17 May 2003; accessed 23 September 2014.〕 He had been shot several times in the head.〔
The IRA, via ''An Phoblacht'', claimed he had been passing information to the Garda Síochána.〔 They also claimed that Oliver had aided the IRA, providing sheds to store weapons and explosives, but that over a six-year period he had given information to the Gardaí, leading to several arrests.〔 His body showed clear evidence of massive pre-mortem trauma, indicating extensive torture.〔 A family member stated:
Thomas Oliver was survived by his wife, six daughters and a son. His mother, Annie, died in September 1991, reportedly from the shock and strain of her son's death. The ''Irish Times'' of 24 November 1991, reported: "The men who delivered him to his executioners are known in the locality. To a large extent they have been ostracised, told in some pubs that their custom is not wanted and that their company is not welcome. In some cases their own families have disowned them. Tom Oliver has become a symbol of every family on this island whose lives have been shattered by the men of violence."〔(Thomas Oliver murder ), nuzhound.com; accessed 23 September 2014.〕
