The cover-up over the murder of Lisa Dorrian goes right to the top of the UVF.

Sunday Life has learned that the missing shop assistant's killer is related to the terror gang's south-east Antrim leader, who has spent more than a decade protecting him.

So too is his father, a Red Hand Commando (RHC) veteran, who helped his son secretly bury Lisa's body 14 years ago after she went missing from a north Down caravan site.

It is because of these paramilitary connections that the UVF and RHC, to the disgust of both memberships, have harboured the killer and his accomplice.

[...]

There is an acceptance in both organisations of their guilt, however nothing has been done to force either to come forward with information about the secret burial site.

A leading loyalist revealed: "Lisa's killer 'A', and his father 'B', are related to the UVF's south-east Antrim commander. He even got 'A' a job as a taxi driver because he couldn't find work due to everyone knowing he was involved in the murder.

[...]

Our source added: "Everyone knows 'A' and 'B' were involved, and the south-east Antrim UVF and the RHC is covering for them because of their family connections. It's sickening.

[...]

She was last seen alive at a drug party by Mark Lovett, who worked as a groundsman at the site.

I’m so pleased to find a thread here on Lisa at WS. I’ve followed her story throughout the years and was immensely touched by it, being the same age and from NI.
Does anyone know the names of those who were arrested this week? They have no been released on bail. I didn’t hold much hope when I heard tbh.
What’s everyone’s thoughts on the new info about ML? If true, the best case scenario would be that she overdosed and he panicked, but I think it may be more sinister then that.
I hope the Dorrian family find peace someday. It’s cruel beyond believe what they have had to endure. IMO

17 May 2005: 'No doubt LVF killed Lisa'

A BBC Spotlight investigation reveals loyalist paramilitary groups are carrying out a parallel investigation into the death of Lisa Dorrian.

The programme reports that members of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and Red Hand Commando had interrogated two teenagers over her disappearance, and believed the LVF are behind the crime.

David Ervine, then leader of the Progressive Unionist Party which is closely linked to the UVF, said he had no doubt that Ms Dorrian was killed by the LVF.

27 May 2005: Conflicting accounts over phone call

A 19-year-old, (Mark Lovett) who claimed to be the last to see Lisa, said the pair were frightened by noises outside the caravan where they were partying, and that they ran away and he lost Ms Dorrian in the dark.

He then called her mobile phone and spoke to her boyfriend who, he said, told him he was in Bangor, County Down, with another woman.

However, the man who answered Ms Dorrian's phone told police he was with another man and teenage girl in a flat in Ballywalter, and that Ms Dorrian's phone had been left in the flat.

Meanwhile, the BBC reports that two separate allegations were made regarding Ms Dorrian's death during two meetings at Belfast City Hall - that she was being harassed by two men over money for drugs in the weeks leading up to her death and that she was minding £20,000 at her Bangor flat for another man.

It's reported that details of these allegations were given to David Ervine who passed them to police.
