But, for some victims' families, the findings of Operation Kenova failed to provide a complete picture as it was limited to the actions of just one man - codenamed Stakeknife - who operated during the 1970s, 80s and 90s - at the height of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

It was also blocked from confirming that Stakeknife was Belfast man, Freddie Scappaticci, who died last year.
