Victim’s daughter now regards Brighton bomber as a friend

The daughter of a Conservative politician murdered in the Brighton bombing 30 years ago has said she regards her father’s killer as an unlikely friend.

Anthony Berry MP was among five people who died when the IRA explosion ripped through the Grand Hotel on October 12, 1984.

His daughter Jo Berry now travels the world promoting peace and reconciliation with Patrick Magee, the republican bomber who planted the deadly device.
