Loyalist killer paid £50,000 a year after jail

LOYALIST mass murderer and suspected police agent Torrens Knight was paid £50,000 (€73,186) a year after being released from jail, it was claimed yesterday.

Cash was lodged in a bank account set up for the sectarian mass killer, informed sources said.

Staff at the branch were allegedly told Knight, responsible for the pub massacre at Greysteel, Co Derry, on Halloween 1993, was an engineer working for a Scottish-based firm. He was on a £50,000 annual salary, it was claimed.
