Catherine and Gerard Mahon were a husband and wife who lived in the Twinbrook suburb of Belfast. Gerard, aged twenty-eight, was a mechanic; Catherine, was twenty-seven. They were killed by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (Provisional IRA) on 8 September 1985, the Provisional IRA alleging they were informers. However at least two of those responsible for their deaths were later uncovered as British agents within the Provisional IRA's Internal Security Unit, leaving the actual status of the Mahons as informers open to doubt.
