Episode 402: Bloody Sunday - Mickey McKinney (Part 2)

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 Mickey McKinney, whose brother Willie was shot dead on that day in January 1972. Mickey has been a leader of the families’ campaign for justice since 1992, and he spoke to me about the terrible loss of his eldest brother, the efforts that have been made to get justice, and the challenging prospect of Soldier F’s murder trial.
