Episode 404: Bloody Sunday - John Kelly (Part 3)

Last year, the people of Derry marked the fiftieth anniversary of the Bloody Sunday massacre. The brutal attack by the British Army on unarmed protestors left fourteen people dead and has been a source of anger and grief in the city for half a century. Now, for the first time, following a thirty-year campaign by the victims’ families, one of the soldiers involved in the killings is facing trial for the murders of two young men, and the attempted murders of three more. I went to Derry recently to meet those families, to visit the Museum of Free Derry, and to see for myself the streets where the killing happened.


In this episode, I’m talking to John Kelly, the brother of Michael Kelly, who was killed, aged just 17, during Bloody Sunday. John shows me around the Museum of Free Derry, where he works, and tells me about the museum’s origins and purpose. He also talks movingly about the impact of his brother’s death on him, and his family, over the last fifty years.
