Welcome to the Ludlow family's website for the Seamus Ludlow Truth Seamus Ludlow

Go to Homepage.

Seamus Ludlow (47), of Thistlecross, Mountpleasant, Dundalk, County Louth, was murdered in the Irish Republic by British Army UDR/Red Hand Commando murder gang on 2 May 1976. His loyalist killers were never brought to justice. 

Instead Seamus Ludlow was falsely branded as an informer who was killed by the IRA and his family cruelly implicated in his murder.

The Gardai and the RUC identified the real killers soon after the crime was committed but they took no action for some 22 years before the four loyalists were eventually arrested. None of these men will be charged with any offence even though two of them have made statements to the RUC, and one of them has spoken to the press. The Ludlow family still seek the truth and justice which the authorities have long denied them.

Further detailed information about the late Seamus Ludlow, his murder and the cover-up, as well as the Ludlow family's campaign for justice can be found elsewhere on this website.

The Ludlow family welcomes any offers of support for their campaign for truth and justice. Anyone who wishes to help is more than welcome to contribute by lobbying local or national political representatives in support for the family's demand for public inquiries into the murder of Seamus Ludlow and the subsequent cover-ups on both sides of the border. 

Alternatively, contributions towards the campaign's expenses may be made to an appeal fund set up by the family for that purpose. Any donations should be paid through any branch of the Bank of Ireland to The Seamus Ludlow Appeal Fund, Account No. 70037984, at the Bank of Ireland, 78 Clanbrassil Street, Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland.
