"This is how a former intelligence officer explained it: ‘McKeague’s background references indicated his involvement in violent sexual activity with both men and young boys and I believe that it was knowledge of his activity that provided the means by which he had originally been recruited …
"[It] was knowledge of McKeague’s sexual activities that made him a suspect in the murder of Brian McDermott in Belfast in 1973.”
