“A shot was fired, the mob jumped back for a second then set about the car with renewed fury. In the end, two men were taken out and shot dead. They were Corporals Derek Wood and Robert Howes.”

“On the ground the reaction was one of revulsion. One old lady stopped me in the Ardoyne. ‘Son, I thought we couldn’t sink any lower until I saw what they did to those two wee boys yesterday.’ There were tears in her eyes. ‘It’s terrible, simply terrible.”
