Seamus Maguire, who was 29 and from Aghagallon near the Co Armagh town of Lurgan, was murdered and secretly buried by republican paramilitaries during the mid 1970s. He is one of four people whose remains are still being searched for by the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains (ICLVR). The ICLVR has issued a fresh appeal in Mr Maguire’s case, as it revealed it did not yet have sufficient information to identify any potential search site. Mark Pickard, who heads up the Seamus Maguire investigation, said that work has been ongoing on the case since it was referred to the commission by the Police Service of Northern Ireland in 2022. “With this appeal we are issuing a photograph of Seamus which we hope might jog someone’s memory and move us on.
