Families of the 14 people killed by British soldiers on Bloody Sunday have said they are “angered” that none of the troops involved have been questioned by detectives assigned to investigate the 1972 killings.
At a meeting held in the City Hotel yesterday, families were told none of the soliders had been questioned despite the inquiry being launched 14 months ago.
It is understood the 12-strong team of detectives, being led by Detective Chief Inspector Ian Patterson, will interview civilian witnesses first. With 2,000 witnesses to be questioned it is expected it could take up to three years before troops will be interviewed about the killings.
Speaking after the meeting, Kathleen Nash, whose brother William was 19-years-old when shot dead, claimed there was “no intention” to prosecute the soldiers, describing what was happening as a “delaying tactic.”
