PAT FINUCANE was gunned down as he sat down to dinner with his family one Sunday evening in Belfast on February 12 1989, just two days before celebrating Valentine’s Day with his beloved wife Geraldine.
Two gunmen broke down his front door before entering the dining area and brutally murdering him.
Finucane was a well-known, high-profile civil rights and human rights lawyer, who defended many leading republicans being brought before the courts and charged with varying offences connected to the ongoing national war of liberation being waged by the Irish against the continued occupation of Ireland by Britain.
