Paterson makes no commitment to Ballymurphy investigation

Relatives of 11 people shot dead in the Ballymurphy massacre in the North in August 1971 have said they are disappointed they haven't received a commitment on an independent investigation.

They held talks with the Northern Secretary Owen Paterson on the issue today.

The families said they are not looking for a costly investigation along the lines of the Bloody Sunday inquiry.

However, they are disappointed they didn't receive any commitment from Mr Paterson, although he will meet them again early next year.
