The Argus (Dundalk), 3 May 2006:

Looking back on yesteryear

30 years ago

The Dundalk area was shocked by the brutal murder of 47-year-old single man Seamus Ludlow who worked as a forestry worker and lived with his elderly mother and sister. His body was found near his home at Mountpleasant. Early Garda investigations confirmed that Mr Ludlow had hitched a lift on the Newry Road the day before his body was found. The murder came at a time when the north was in considerable turmoil and there was strong suspicions in the south at the activities of the British Army and the RUC along the Border with eight SAS men arrested at Flagstaff and taken to Dundalk Garda Barracks around the same time.
