Jail bosses set for damning report over Wright killing

Jail chiefs braced themselves today for a major report of a £30m (€367m) UK government investigation into the 1997 murder inside the Maze Prison of loyalist Billy Wright, one of the North's most feared assassins.

It is due to be published this afternoon after Ulster Secretary Owen Paterson addresses the House of Commons and is expected to be highly critical of the prison service when Wright, 37, was ambushed by armed republican prisoners who managed to slip through security and open fire.
