“The contrary narrative to that of the military is that the Springhill deaths resulted from illegitimate, unjustified and indiscriminate use of force by the Army on civilians..'
Relative of five people killed in shootings involving the British Army in West Belfast more than 50 years ago have spoken of their loss at the opening of a new inquest.
He said the Army contend that soldiers opened fire after being shot at by gunmen in the area, and their use of force was “legitimate and justified”. “It was a very difficult time for us all. We have lost a loving brother who we have always missed. We think about him every day. Having waited 50 years to find out the truth of what happened to him, we hope this inquest will give us some answers after five decades. Only then can our parents rest in peace.”
“For almost 51 years our family have been campaigning for truth and accountability into our daddy’s death,” she said.“As a family, we want to clear his good name that has been tarnished ever since.”
