Funeral takes place of Disappeared victim

The Funeral has taken place of Disappeared victim Peter Wilson.

Mr. Wilson, who was 21, went missing in Belfast in 1973.

His remains were found on a beach in County Antrim last month.

Mr. Wilson had lived in the Falls Road area of the city.

The remains were discovered following an extensive search at Waterfoot beach.

The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims Remains has confirmed that the remains were identified as those of Mr. Wilson.

Mr. Wilson was buried in Milltown Cemetery in Belfast following Mass in Holy Cross Church, Ardoyne.

Father Gary Donegan told mourners that Wilson’s death was “so senseless and cruel. Each lifeis a unique creation, it mirrors its creator no matter how brief its existence”.

He added: “Peter’s story is also a story of loyalty and integrity, of a never forgotten love of a devoted family whose home was steeped in Gospel values.”
