RUC lead on Kincora gives HIA evidence
The retired RUC Detective Chief Superintendent who led the Kincora investigation has been giving evidence to the Historical Institutional Abuse inquiry.
George Caskey said he had been told by the then-Chief Constable Jack Herman to “leave no stone unturned”.
However he said he found "no evidence whatsoever" of a prostitution ring or paedophile ring operating at the former east Belfast boys’ home.
George Caskey added that he also found no evidence of prominent figures sexually abusing boys at Kincora, nor blackmail evidence.
But he said "there were many potential missed opportunities to detect offences at Kincora,” which his team uncovered.
