through. that might only in the back of their head who kills him almost instantly. the ball much closer to him my father was probably already there because he'd been shot and before. i came to work in ireland in 1981 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 breck mill 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.
9:35 pm
witnesses from the scene. and all had been killed explained 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 fast time that bracknell has heard how her husband had been mad i think the shock of. the family really how little we know about my father's killing of 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 irrational was quite different it was not enough a catholic sob story. i was just so disappointed 100 was a reaction to what i've discovered. that pushed for the story to be written under the end it was. in and around this time new information started to emerge about
9:36 pm
what would have been enormous loyalist attacks in the area. i suppose i didn't know much more about watertown other than that a group called 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 happened 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 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 he's going to sell us a photocopy or or 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 park runt he was aware that there was not david
9:37 pm
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 to for imploded. and bloody sunday just as campaign was was based on the office and we agreed to call together a meeting of witnesses and 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 and 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 or for people in authority even though it's been hugely planned for. and we've lived. in all this is something we need to do we need to
9:38 pm
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 to neil or part of that day was partial in the sense that if we were in the room we appointed to yet 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 who are 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 and they came forward and we began to realize that we were going to solve and much much bigger.
9:39 pm
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 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 but couldn't . he talk 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 an attack and of 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 the many ways we were
9:40 pm
