Families of the innocents killed in the 1971 Ballymurphy massacre slam PM's ‘botched’ letter
John Teggart (centre), son of Daniel Teggart, who was among those killed in the series of shootings in Ballymurphy, Belfast, between August 9-11, 1971, speaks to the media alongside other families of people who were killed, holding a letter from Prime Minister Boris Johnson
ANGERED Ballymurphy families hit out at Boris Johnson today following the PM’s “botched” apology for the killings of 10 innocent civilians.
The families were left fuming after receiving a letter from Mr Johnson that downplayed the killings 50 years ago as “events.”
Coroner Ms Justice Keegan found on Tuesday that those who died in Belfast on August 1971 were “entirely innocent.”
