9:36 pm
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 a name sprang out of the page at me bracknell somebody called bracknell had been killed in south sometime previously 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 would assist with scene. will have 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 a fast time that an bracknell has heard how her husband had been mad i think the shock of what we find. to the family really how little we know about my father's
9:37 pm
killing of he 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 irrational was quite different it was oh no not enough a catholic sob story. i was just so so disappointed i'm hurt 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 watertown other than the other group called the right on commando claim responsibility for the attack. so at this time i'd be him 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
9:38 pm
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 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 knocked her own 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.
9:39 pm
open and silverbridge and what this is 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 and obviously these had never been followed by official bodies are for people in authority even little it's being hugely painful and traumatic than 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 what happened on the road is connected the hop and over just across the other country what happened. that they was partial in the sense that if we were in the room we appointed to you day there a witness to something the how to lead piece of evidence that connected to another one the connected to and the what really was unfolding was the same. and there was
9:40 pm
this. security force people who 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. 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 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 would be an absolutely fatal person for us to talk to.
9:41 pm
belfast families of those killed in an attack and of silverbridge 24 years ago have appealed for a fresh inquiry into that the trust to 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 7 made a number of statements i mean that made all surreal what we were looking up was actually a much wider range of attacks. was 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 i think treating the murders. on farm on call mccartney and
9:42 pm
august 1075 who were returning from some the final of a football match on the also that album on bombings of me in 1074. was the day make no certainly no blood is just blood into nationalities. that. has emerged on top of the we don't look like seeing the whole world needs to be. people. judging 2 us coming every crisis like this system to times we can do better we should. everyone is contributing to each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created the response has been much so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together

9:50 pm
though at that time to part for new consent and justice for the gotten we're beginning to investigate the activities of the glen i'm going already to very ordinary catholic priests living in the area have done a fair amount of investigation themselves they do even started rushing to the newspapers and trying to get the 2 governments involved because they realize that there must be a cohesive gehring working in the so called murder trial carrying out these murders that had to be there were too many of them they did everything they could charge highlighted after one series of 17 mud 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 yes it seems that the police would just not interested.
