A coffin bearing the remains of murdered Brendan Megraw is carried into Glenvay Parish cemetery for burial in Glenavy, Northern Ireland, on November 14, 2014. Brendan Megraw, 23, was abducted from his home in Belfast and killed by the IRA in April 1978. He was one of sixteen victims known as 'the Disappeared' who vanished without trace during the three decades-long conflict in Northern Ireland. Investigators following a new lead discovered the remains in Oristown Bog in Co Meath in October 2014, following a series of unsuccessful searches over the years.
