Patrick Finucane was shot dead in 1989

Pat Finucane was a high-profile solicitor who lived and worked in Belfast. The 39-year-old Catholic was shot dead by loyalist paramilitaries in 1989.

In his role as a defence solicitor, he had represented clients who included convicted members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and families involved in shoot-to-kill allegations against the then police force, the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC).

There have been long-standing allegations that members of the UK security forces colluded in his murder. (BBC)

BBC Panorama follows the story of a former British agent called Brian Nelson who was a member of the UDA and how both he and his Army Handlers choose so called “legitimate” Republican targets to be set up and murdered by the UDA. It also informs us the majority of the targets were not Republican targets but innocent bystanders who had no connections to the IRA and that Brian Nelson even went to the UVF as well. One of Sinn Féin’s leading Belfast Politican’s Alex Maskey was nearly murdered by a gang that was set up by Brian Nelson but Maskey left 20 seconds before the gunman arrived.
