A new name has been added to the list of victims abducted, shot and secretly buried by the IRA during the Troubles.

21-year-old Peter Wilson disappeared from his home in the St James' area of west Belfast in 1973.

The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains has said 'we can confirm that another case has been reported to the Commission and we are making further enquiries as to where the remains may be located.'

This would mean that 14 people are buried in unmarked graves, all but one by the IRA.

The IRA has admitted involvement in nine of the cases but denied the others.

It is understood the Commission's investigations are at a very early stage.
