Veteran Republican Ivor Bell has been acquitted of any involvement in the IRA's abduction, murder and disappearance of mother-of-ten Jean McConville.

Mr Bell was found not guilty of having done two acts of soliciting to murder Mrs McConville in 1972 after a judge ruled the Crown's main evidence was "inadmissible."
