flag UK police chief urges naming of spy Stakeknife linked to 14 Troubles murders to rebuild trust.

flag UK police chief Jon Boutcher is urging the government to publicly name Stakeknife, a suspected British spy linked to at least 14 murders during the Troubles, saying transparency could rebuild trust with Northern Ireland’s Catholic community and boost police recruitment. flag He argues that revealing the agent’s identity would not compromise national security, citing past cases where disclosures did not harm intelligence operations. flag Despite pressure from the Kenova report and the PSNI, the government maintains its policy of neither confirming nor denying agent identities, pending a Supreme Court ruling on a related case.
