}}Brian McDermott was a 10 year old schoolboy who disappeared in Belfast in 1973. He was last seen at Ormeau Park on 2 September 1973.[1] He failed to return to his home on Well Street in the lower Woodstock Road area of Cregagh, Belfast.[1] A week after he went missing, the River Lagan was lowered and a sack containing some of his remains was found.[1]

Kincora Boys Home

In 1982 a possible link between the death of Brian McDermott and the abuse scandal at Kincora Boys' Home was discussed by Jim Prior , Michael Havers, senior civil servant Sir William Bourne and then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and then Lord Chancellor Quintin Hogg.[2][3] Papers concerning this meeting were released in 2013.[2][3]

Brother investigated

Brian's brother William was 16 at the time of his disappearance and he was considered a suspect and questioned in 1976 and again in 2004.[4] William denies the allegations and is estranged from the rest of his family.[4] He admits confessing in 1976, but says that the confession was coerced.[4] He changed his name by deed poll to avoid the stigma of being a suspect in his brother's murder.[4] His murder remains unsolved.[5]
