Description
The Shankill Butchers: A Case Study of Mass Murder In the 1970s, a series of indiscriminate murders took place in the Shankill area of Belfast, leaving thirty Catholics dead. The perpetrators, a group of Protestant paramilitaries, were led by Lenny Murphy, a fanatical Unionist who swore revenge on all Catholics. This book provides a detailed account of one of the most brutal series of murders in the history of Northern Ireland. The true nature of this phenomenon has been obscured by the troubled and violent context from which it sprang. This book aims to shed light on the events and circumstances surrounding the Shankill Butchers, offering a gripping and detailed exploration of one of the most infamous murder cases in Northern Ireland's history. A disturbing and thought-provoking read, The Shankill Butchers is not for the squeamish.
