Public inquiry opens into sectarian killing
The murder of a Roman Catholic man killed by a sectarian mob while the PSNI were nearby will be probed in a public inquiry opening today.
Security forces deny wrongdoing in the case, but retired Canadian Judge Peter Cory reviewed the death of Robert Hamill in Portadown, Co Armagh, in 1997 and advised that the allegations of PSNI misconduct warranted a public inquiry.
