the borderland of south our mouth the new area of ireland steeped in celtic mythology with the ghosts of colon we may have been mccoll and kolya bought out haunt the counties many barely cairns and crips. its rugged slopes green seams and sweeping plains reach out to the fuse the cradle the resting places of the teen century ports such as our could could park much along than in shame is more much more of hope. a land where instant quarrels have been settled but yet find time to reignite. there's an ironic tragedy between the beauty of this land and the dark secrets that hold us.
9:34 am
i followed out my mother in the late sixty's and they got married and set up omen belfast at the time my father was working in the rolls royce factory in belfast. until some of his war colleagues find out he was a catholic and he had to leave. me then worked as a postman in the area for a while at this stage we were living in the style millis area of fast. there are a small number of catholic families living in the area at that i planned on we've been warned on a number of occasions it was time to move out and i suppose the final straw for us was on her almost after one of our near neighbors at windows and mom and daddy obviously say to stage it was time to move out of on the decision was taken to move on at that stage. and from birmingham mommy wanted to move there she felt would be safer but my father left the
9:35 am
countryside so moch so we ended up there. i suppose my last recollections of my father are him leaving to go to the hospital to visit mommy and my sister ocean and she was only 2 days old at the time. not really the last that i can remember of c.n.n. going out to the the front door to visit them and the host. and the particular even my aunt and was with my father on the intention was to stop it on the spot on the way home and have a sound operators drink with his workmates. they'd only just arrived about the same time as the gunmen. as they arrived they shot up the front of the bar. domain killing him almost immediately michael don't leave the bar owner saw him run into the bar none had banged the door. he was followed and.
9:36 am
the inside of the building with bullets. shooting like. you. seriously injuring them. it might only on the. most instantly. the bomb exploded then my father was probably already dead because he'd been shot before. i came to work in ireland in 981 and i found myself increasingly drawn to cases of miscarriage of justice when nobody else was taking a particular interest and also in the potential for the state to take life illegally and as a journalist you're always looking for stories that nobody else is investigating it was an ordinary sunday morning and i was reading the paper and
9:37 am
a name sprang out of the page at me breck girl somebody called bracknell had been killed in south. and i thought breck no that's not a south. so i managed to contact the family and went down to meet them on. witnesses from the scene. and all had been killed explained to his widow who was sitting in the room with me exactly what has happened and it was a shocking shocking experience it was the best time that bracknell as her husband had been. i think the shock of what we find. to the family really how little we know about killing and who was actually responsible for it. i phoned my news desk expecting them to leap on the story and say give us everything you've got but the interaction was quite different it was not enough a catholic sob story. i was just so. so disappointed and. his
9:38 am
reaction to what i've discovered. push for the story to be written and in the end it was. in and around this time information started to emerge about what would be enormous loyalist attacks in the area. i suppose i didn't know much more about water top and other than the ones that are going to call the right wing commando claimed responsibility for the attack. so at this time i begin to ask questions of myself about what i did or didn't know about what i've actually help and i started to ask questions of local people about what they remembered about what they knew about the night and but we didn't know it really know where to go to try and find out more answers and at that stage someone mentioned to me the depart for newton center in derry help families and summer situations to ourselves. i think it was 100-1009. 100 the office very softly spoken very friendly and he was wearing a suit and we thought he's going to sell us a photocopy or or or
9:39 am
a printer and instead he began to tell us about the attack on the part one of his dad and what happened on the park runt he was aware that there was now for david available where we made a number of very serious allegations but clues behavior and a number of attacks on the area. so we agreed we would look at it in detail and look at all the different attacks that happened in the area at the time it was all very new deals. up to the point we've been knocked off and a number of cases we've been knocked of her own clothes. and bloody sunday just as campaign was was based on the office and we agreed to call together a meeting of what it says on the g. and silverbridge and what to says came forward a lot of witnesses came forward. and i suppose the significance of the meeting was that you had families with evidence and information but you also had witnesses to events on the significance of this being that the risk. so many connections so many
9:40 am
permutations so many leads to follow and obviously these had never been followed by official bodies or for people in authority even little it's been hugely influential moderate and we've lived. in all this is something we need to do we need to take this forward and you know what happened in my home in my local was killed in the incident is connected to what happened on the road is connected to hop and over just across the other country what happened. they was partial in the sense that if we were in the room we appointed to you as the something the how the piece of evidence that connected the connected to and the what really was unfolding was the sense that there was this gang of security force people who were supposed to protect people supposed to bring people there just those who were actually conducting these killings and county in the most. normal situation they'd been they'd been asked to give statements that the police would have asked them for statements this hadn't happened. they came forward and we began to realise some we
9:41 am
were going to solve and much much bigger. as we began to research us under talk to people in the local area many of them told also there was actually an officer involved in the original list he was actually in charge although he was novice or very little rank that they believed was a person of integrity they believed he tried to get to the bottom of those couldn't . he talked to the families a number of times over the years and they the families told us that he will be an absolutely fatal person for us to talk to. belfast families of those killed in that attack and advise silverbridge 24 years ago have appealed for a fresh inquiry into that trust say. so we arranged a press conference at the tail end appealed for him to come forward we thought of
9:42 am
the unlikely but in fact he did and he made contact with us shortly afterwards through a journalist. it was quite an extraordinary making the many ways we were accompanied by a number of family members and this police officer who still 7 made a number of statements i thought me made austria lace up what we were looking up was actually a much wider range of attacks the what we were looking not was the klan on counting . the man thing to come out of the meeting which i mean mccown was the term he used permutations of the same gun were also responsible for the other attacks and so i think the shooting the murder sean from one called mccartney in august 1985 who were returning from us on the final of a football match on the also the dublin on monaghan bombings of me in 174. you know world big partners
9:43 am
a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. brothers see below i believe in the room light out in the gloom. my name is drawl marg and i was sentenced to die in prison by the expiration of my life. case to grab some media attention and. in a 16 year old's 16 for. hardy. citing the places tell a lot of pressure chill close calls. for years
9:44 am
i just don't think it's like i couldn't believe those higher. up here are so far better off for the shorter one basically i would guess that all of this you know what i was standing right next to. me for is because you guys here live in one of the doing was 1617 years old so. this could lose one dues or loses one to 2 beers a boatload to live your own food really. formal it is close to draw a lot of gold follow the truth. the world is driven by dream shaped by those great.

9:50 am
i often tell from his heart. and. difficult. though at that time the pad for new consent and justice for the gotten was beginning to investigate the activities of the glen i'm going already 2 very ordinary catholic priests living in the area have done a fair amount of investigation themselves they didn't even started writing to the newspapers and trying to get the 2 governments involved because they realized that there must be a cohesive gang working in the so called murder trial carrying out these murders it had to be there were too many of them they did everything they could to highlight it after one series of 17 much as they should a statement saying that they are you see had a 100 percent failure rate in convicting anyone for these murders and they went to
9:51 am
dublin they went to belfast they wrote letters to the papers yet it seems that the police were just not interested. in nobody. and i can see it's no good will make complaints against the better battery we're using and that is why you have no go areas but there you go an ordinary other this was a friend of mine and he visited presence of course and he was very interested in what was going on and run john and we saw that there were a lot of murders in what we called a triangle going down an area right into the my over to for a gun and we were given a list of all the stats and then i decided to push. them publish them and publish the 1st fruit. at the triangle of death and it was a name that was. taken up by the media because ever afterwards they talked about
9:52 am
the murder triangle so we left it and the little information we had from relatives at the time. and published in the pub which. had went fairly quickly so we published a 2nd when the word additions to it me published a 3rd cup it was more editions slower that became a side trip a central document and. we noticed that. so many of these murders were hot and it seemed to us that the roads were open for these murders to come in and kill people and get over and get away again.
9:53 am
