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.

Mr Quinn's family issued a short statement saying he had recently been involved in altercations with individual members of the Provisional IRA, which had issued an exiling order through an innocent intermediary: "Our son courageously and correctly refused to leave. We believe he was abducted by the Provisional movement and brutally beaten to death."
