 Although Jackson had been taken in and questioned by the RUC following the attack, he was released without having been charged.In the 1990s, Loyalist Volunteer Force leader Billy Wright, who had succeeded Jackson as Mid-Ulster UVF brigadier in the early 1990s, claimed that Somerville and Boyle had served as his role models and that their violent deaths had inspired him to join the UVF at the age of 15.On 30 July 2005, a mural and memorial plaque commemorating Somerville and Boyle was unveiled in the Killycomaine estate of Portadown, where the latter had grown up.
