Rosemary Nelson was a lawyer going about her business in a small provincial town in Northern Ireland. Most of her work was bread and butter conveyancing, domestic violence, family proceedings. But she was also known internationally for her forensic advocacy on behalf of clients targeted by the security services.
That's why she is dead. She was murdered by loyalists in 1999. But before the killing she had complained of death threats by RUC officers.
Now a new voice has joined the roll call of gunslingers, bigots, police officers, civil servants and politicians who may be implicated in her assassination.
A loyalist serving a life sentence, Trevor McKeown, says that during interrogation for a separate sectarian murder he was encouraged by police officers to go for a bigger, target - Rosemary Nelson.
