Brian McDermott left his home in East Belfast and promised his mum he would be back for Sunday lunch. It was the last day of the summer holidays in 1973 and the 10 year old was headed to the playground at nearby Ormeau park. Brian was spotted there by several witnesses but he never returned home. Six days later his partial remains were found in a hessian sack floating on the River Lagan. At the time police said it was the most ghastly and fiendish murder that Northern Ireland had ever witnessed. Fifty years on the case remains unsolved and is dogged with conspiracy and rumour.
