THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE CAMPAIGN TO SECURE JUSTICE FOR PAUL QUINN
On the
afternoon of Saturday 20th October 2007, Paul Quinn of Cullyhanna got a
phone message that work was available across the border clearing a shed to
make it ready for cattle. The message was sent by two young men known to
him who had been kidnapped in Oram, Co. Monaghan and forced to make the
call. Paul brought another young man from Cullyhanna to help him and drove
to the cattle shed. There he was systematically beaten with iron bars and
nail-studded cudgels by a group of 9-12 men dressed in boiler suits and
surgical gloves. They operated within a clear command system and as they
beat him they told him that now he knew who were the bosses in the area.
Before they left the scene they sprayed the area with an unknown chemical.
They also injured the three other young men and smashed their mobile
phones. However, one phone remained operational and the young men called
Paul’s girlfriend and asked her to call an ambulance. He was taken from
the shed around 6pm and he died in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda,
around 8pm.
