The footage is truly shocking, to anybody. More footage exists that has not been released that reveals the true vileness of the incident. It would have been hoped that a modicum of humanity could be displayed by McGuire and his accomplices but equally perhaps that is too much to ask. However, McGuire continues to be pursued, by many elements, there is little doubt he will face judgement, and maybe that will be soon.

There were 57 untimely deaths in 1985 compared to almost 500 deaths 13 years earlier.<br /><br />Attached to the PSNI, the HET is re-examining the deaths of over 2,500 people between 1968 and the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in April 1998.<br /><br />Although it answers directly to the chief constable, the HET is an independent unit.<br /><br />According to the body, it “recognises that the death of a loved one, no matter how long ago, is not an historical event but an ever present source of trauma and upset”, and that it hopes “its reviews and investigations may offer families some measure of resolution”.<br /><br />Apart from the year the two corporals were murdered in Andersonstown (1988 when 104 people died), the death toll didn’t exceed 100 in a single year for the remainder of the conflict.<br /><br />Two men were apprehended fleeing from the scene of the shooting near the Casement Park GAA ground and stood trial the following year.<br /><br />Alex Murphy and Harry Maguire were both jailed for life for the double murder. They were released in 1998 under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement.<br /><br />Around 30 other men were convicted of lesser charges in connection with the brutal killing, but several more could be prosecuted once the HET concludes its reinvestigation.<br /><br />It is understood that the current funding for the HET is set to run out before there is a chance to re-examine the corporals’ murder case – however, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has described their ongoing work as “a priority”.<br /><br />A spokesperson for the DOJ said: “Whilst discussions continue about the precise source of funding, the HET work is a priority and it is our intention that the work will continue.”<br />http://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/regional/het-nearing-probe-into-ira-murder-of-corporals-1-4919970Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32095749.post-77436032928590954392013-11-07T22:10:23.832+00:002013-11-07T22:10:23.832+00:00As an Ulster veteran, when I saw this episode when...As an Ulster veteran, when I saw this episode when it occured. I questioned why the helicopter didn't open fire to help these poor lads.<br /><br />I knew that the helicopter was told not to open fire.Otherwise they would have 'opened up'.<br /><br />But now it seems with this latest info, that is just emerging. That all help was stopped by "the higher ups"!<br /><br />I have the greatest respect for the old RUC having served with them<br /><br />But I had not heard before, that all help had been ordered to stand down.<br /><br />The 'higher ups' should be named IMHO.<br /><br />Who was it that ordered all Army and RUC to stand down ?<br /><br />According to this story, this shameful episode hasn't yet run it's course over in Northern Ireland.<br /><br />How those who 'stood down' but were still hearing the ongoing radio and image reports, as they happened, can live with themselves I can not imagine. <br /><br />Eternal shame!GWRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227275443444362915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32095749.post-44805052052808973762013-11-07T21:34:02.536+00:002013-11-07T21:34:02.536+00:00ira scum.ira scum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32095749.post-71723236843711154922013-11-07T20:54:23.881+00:002013-11-07T20:54:23.881+00:00Sad very sad.Sad very sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
