Hello, we are due back in court this week to here the tariff set by judge Gillen. We expect this to be a severe and lengthy penalty, so fingers crossed.

I am meeting the police Ombudsman on Tuesday this week to discuss their findings and I have some issues still to be resolved. Keep a watch on the site and news, I will keep you all informed.

By the way if you go into the picture gallery you will see the latest post regarding graffiti that was put up in a place just outside Tandragee on the night the verdict was given, some interesting names and comments. Bye for now …..Paul McIlwaine.

hello everyone,well the verdict is in and we are delighted with the judges decision.this evil young man will be going away for a very long time.perhaps he will have a long hard think about the so called friends who in his mind were on his side but in actual fact were his downfall.he should look closer to home as there were elements acting against him from the outset.

we have always said that he was a key suspect one of a number of evil people involved.what i have to do now is plan the strategy and seek legal advice to move to the next stepping stone.

it was business as usual this week with meetings of the police ombudsman and the policing board ,very uncomfortable for sir hughe orde raising the question of collusion over security force contracts being given to known terrorist linked firms.

at the policing board i was approached by both Ian paisley junior and basil mccrea congratulating me on the verdict .paisley when i told him it was no thanks to the unionist politicians and that it was noticeable that the dup had never raised the question or supported other members of the board when asking about these contracts,his reply was “that question in there ,never would i ask that in there maybe in private but not in public” a shocking reply although not surprising to which i said “thats the problem with the unionists they want to bury everything but i dont want “buried “there has been too much of that already”

basil mccrea was another unionist who promised to set up an urgent meeting prior to mark(uvf supergrass)burcombe being sentenced and failed to do so,i couldnt beleive he had the nerve to approach me having blatantly avoided me to date.

well i just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your support and keep visiting the site as i will have much more to say and do.

thankyou,paul mcilwaine

From the 4 March 2009 edition of the Belfast Telegraph:

A knife-wielding killer yawned repeatedly as a judge told him he may never be freed from prison for his part in the barbaric double murder of two friends nine years ago.

Convicting 28-year-old Steven Brown of murdering Protestant teenagers Andrew Robb and David McIlwaine, Belfast Crown Court judge Mr Justice Gillen warned him he faced being put behind bars for the rest of his natural life as a result of the “heinous” murders.

From BBC News, 3 March 2009:

The families of David McIlwaine and Andrew Robb give their reaction as a man is convicted of double murder.

There was more than Steven Revels involved in my son’s murder.
