might only on the back of the head who killed him almost instantly. the bomb exploded then my father was probably already there because he'd been shot before. i came to work in ireland in 1981 and i found myself increasingly drawn to cases of miscarriages 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 a name sprang out of the page at me brecht all 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 i asked eyewitnesses we've seen. all had been killed explained to his widow who was sitting
9:37 am
in the room with me exactly what had happened and it was a shocking shocking experience it was the fast time that an bracknell has heard how husband had been mad i think the shock of what we're trying to. do the family really how little we know about my fall is killing up he was actually responsible for. i phone 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 oh no not enough a catholic sob story. i was just so so disappointed on her that his reaction to what i've discovered. pushed for the story to be written under the end it was. in and around this time started to emerge about what would be enormous loyalist attacks in the area. i suppose i didn't know much more about water. that
9:38 am
are going to call the right wing commander claimed responsibility for the attack. so at this time i begin to ask questions of myself about what i did or didn't know but 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 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 it was a photocopy or aura 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 back row and he was aware that there was not 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
9:39 am
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 cannot differ on plot it's only. bloody sunday just as campaign was was based on the office and we agreed to call together a meeting of witnesses and the open 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 the events on the significance of this being that there were so many connections so many permutations so many leads to follow obviously needs it never been followed by official bodies or for people in authority even though it's been hugely painful and traumatic and we've lived 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 help. and the road is connected to hop and over just
9:40 am
across the country what happened to neil there part. they was partial in the sense that if we were in the room we appointed to you to either a witness to something the how the piece of evidence that connected to the connected to and that will really was unfolding was the sense that there was this. 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 moat . 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 that 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 also there was actually an officer involved and they original this was actually in charge although he was novice or very little rank that they believed
9:41 am
was a person of integrity they believed he tried to get to the bottom of those 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. belfast families of those killed in an attack and advise silverbridge 24 years ago have appealed for a fresh inquiry into that trust say. so we arranged a press conference. and appealed for him to come forward we thought of the unlikely but in fact he did and he made contact with us shortly afterwards through a journalist. it was quite an extraordinary making a many ways we were accompanied by a number of family members and this police officer who still serve and made a number of statements i mean. that made austria lace up what we were looking up
9:42 am
was actually a much wider range of attacks the ball we were cannot was the clan on counting. the man thing to come out of the meeting which i am account was the term he used permutations of the same gun were also responsible for the other attacks and so time consuming the mortar sean farming called mccartney and august 1075 who are returning from us on the final of a football match on the also the dublin on monaghan bombings of may in 1074. we started at the garage but he said you need for good and it's you other than the human body. but on the but i was going to do the book on useless all that business and just. instead of. the emotion running team munchkin do i feel still really stuck or your muscles in the course of your knee which misses jim but i'm sure he's just woken up or forgot to chill the church

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 they went to dublin they went to belfast they wrote letters to the papers yet it seems that the police would just not interested. and that is why you have no go areas but there you go another brother the list. it
