12:32 am
move on a stage. a band from birmingham mommy wanted to move there she felt would be safer but my father loved the countryside so . so we ended up there. i suppose my last recollections of my father are him leaving to go to the hospital to visit my sister ocean and she was only 2 days old at the time. not really the last that i can remember of them and i'm going to true that the front door to us at them in the hospital. 'd particular even on my i was with my father on the intention was to stop at the next bar on the way home and i was out of breakers drunk with his workmates. they'd only just arrived about the same time as the gunmen. shot up the front of

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 a name sprang out of the page at me breck 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 and. witnesses from the scene. had been killed to explain to his widow who was sitting in the room with me exactly what had happened and it was a shocking shocking experience it was the best time that an bracknell has heard how her husband had been. i think the shock of what we find. to the family really how little we know about my father's killing of he was actually responsible for it . i phoned my news desk expecting them to leap on the story and say
12:35 am
give us everything you've got but the interaction was quite different it was oh no not enough a catholic sob story. i was just so so disappointed and hurt that his reaction to what i've discovered. pushed for the story to be written under the end it was. in and around the information started to emerge about what were to be enormous loyalist attacks in the area. i suppose i didn't know much more about one of. the other group called the right on commando claimed responsibility for the attack. so at this time i'd be in to ask questions of myself about what i did or didn't know but what i actually help and i started to ask questions of local people about what they remembered about what they knew about the night but we didn't know it really know where to go to try and find. someone mentioned to me the. sanford
12:36 am
and barry help families and summer situations to ourselves. i think it was 999. commanded the office very softly spoken very friendly and he was wearing a suit and we thought it was a photocopy or a or a printer and instead he began to tell us about the attack on the part one of his dad and what happened on the background he was aware that there was not david available where we made a number of very serious allegations or collusion 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 active in the number of cases we've been active for on plautus on the. bloody sunday just as campaign was was based on the office and we agreed to call together a meeting of witnesses and the g. open and silverbridge and what does this came forward a lot of witnesses came forward. and i suppose the significance of the meeting was
12:37 am
that you had families with evidence and information but you also had witnesses the events on the significance of this being that there were so many connections so many permutations so many leads to follow and obviously these had never been followed by official bodies are for people in authority even little it's been hugely influential moderate than we've lived through this you know 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 the happened over just across the other country what happened the kneeler part that day was partial in that sense that if we were in the room we appointed to get either a witness to something the how to lead piece of evidence to connect it to another one connected to and what really was unfolding was the sense that there was this gang security force people are supposed to protect people supposed to bring people there just those. they were actually conducting these killings and coming in the
12:38 am
most. you might imagine that in a 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 realize some we were going to something much much bigger. as we began to research this under talk to people in the local area many of them told us so 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 this but couldn't . he talk to the families a number of times over the years and they the families told us that he would be an absolutely fatal person for us to talk to.
12:39 am
families of those killed in an attack on a bench 24 years ago have appealed for a fresh inquiry into the say. so we arranged a press conference. and appealed for him to come forward we thought of them lightly 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 serve and made a number of statements. that made all surreal what we were looking up was actually a much wider range of attacks the was the i think. the main thing to come out of the meeting which was the term he used permutations of the same guy were also responsible for the other attacks and so. serving the murder sean foreman called mccartney in august 1985 who are returning from the final of a football match and also the double. me in 1984.
