Murder inquiry 40 years after 'Bloody Sunday'.

So the police are now going to investigate charges of murder 40 years after the event, following the findings of the 12 year long, £195million inquiry by Lord Saville.

This latest investigation could last another 6 years at a cost close on £8m.

What about the 53 men that the The Parachute Regiment lost, who is to investigate their murder? but then all these terrorist killers have been released and treated with respect by our politicians.

If there were any charges to be made for the killing of those on 'Bloody Sunday' then they should have taken place at the time. not 46 years after at a cost of £203m.

Where did I say that Gromit?
I was commenting on why should they focus on Bloody Sunday and not on bombings like Birmingham.
Why should one alleged act of murder be any different from another though?
One of my best friends at school was murdered in 1978,the men that were found guilty but were eventually released after a re trial but served 17 years for other armed robberies.
Therefore nobody has ever been found guilty of my friends murder.
I'm sure his Mother,Father,Brother and Sister would like to see the Police find out who killed him.

Sorry about the bad grammar I'm trying to work!

Bloody Sunday is different from many of the other killings in this respect. We all know who the killers were. It's just a matter now of giving them their day in court.

[ummmm]

Precisely WBA..and the parents and family of the victims of bloody Sunday want the 'murderers' to be convicted!

Like I said ...these soldiers are on the payroll. They are trained British soldiers. Not terrorists.

[mightyWBA]

Basically Sandy if the victims are English it doesn't matter.

Because for 40 years the murders were covered up by the state so they could not be investigated as murders. Presumably your friends murder was invesigated and remains unsolved. The bloody sunday killings have never been investigated as crimes. The inquiry said they were crimes so an investigation can and should follow.

[MoonRocker]

They were not murders.

// if the victims are English it doesn't matter. //

There were Irish victims in the Birmingham pub bombings MightyWBA.

[sandyRoe]

Whether they were murders or not should be a matter for a judge to decide, surely?

[MoonRocker]

well under the normal definition of murder they are not murders, nothing to decide.

[MoonRocker]

If anyone should be prosecuted it's Martin McGuinnes for firing first and causing the whole incident.

6 yrs at £8M? i don't think somebody is very good at adding up, here. it's gonna cost a shed load more than that. i, for one, do not want my taxes wasted on it.

[ummmm]

Moonrocker - have you got a link to back up that claim, please?

[anotheoldgit]

Some never change, it seems anything that the British are accused of doing, demands action.

But the British can be treated in any way possible, and that is perfectly in order.

None of the 'anti British Brigade' has come out and explained why it has took all these years and all this money in pursuit of justice against these British soldiers, but crimes committed against them and the British public are swept under the table for political reasons?

[emmie]

AOG, all for the greater good apparently.

[MoonRocker]

Plenty to google - Can't be proven but it is a common belief that MM fired on the day inquestion.

[MoonRocker]

.....yes AOG but what really annoys is that most of the "anti British" are themselves British.

[emmie]

may i ask if they know who the soldiers were, why haven't they been prosecuted up till now?

[MoonRocker]

Perhaps em10, because they have done nothing wrong????

[ummmm]

//Can't be proven but it is a common belief that MM fired on the day inquestion. //

Then that's just gossip and hearsay.

AOG - so British soldiers shoot innocent people, some of them in the back, and you expect it to be swept under the carpet?
