The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg today ruled that allegations of security force collusion in the loyalist murders of eight men in South Armagh in the 1970s had not properly been investigated.

THE British Government faced more demands yesterday to hold a “Bloody Sunday-style inquiry” into alleged collusion between members of the security forces in the North and loyalist terror gangs during the Troubles.

The mother of an 18-year-old schoolboy killed by loyalist paramilitaries 11 years ago today called for “a Bloody Sunday-style inquiry” into his and other murders.
