Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams has asked a lawyer to contact police to see if they want to speak to him about the murder of Belfast mother Jean McConville. Ivor Bell was remanded in custody at the weekend after being charged in connection with the case.
Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams has asked a lawyer to contact police to establish if detectives want to speak to him about the murder of Belfast mother-of-10 Jean McConville.
The move comes after a veteran Republican, 77-year-old Ivor Bell, was charged last week in connection with the 1972 killing of Ms McConville.
Mr Adams said in a statement: "I can understand the McConville family's anger and hurt given what they have been through and given what some anti-peace process former Republican activists have been alleging.
"However, let me repeat. What happened to Jean McConville was a terrible injustice. I was not involved in any part of it.
"If the PSNI [Police Service Northern Ireland] wish to talk to me on this matter I am available to meet them. I have asked my solicitor to contact them."
