This is part two of a two part series, so I strongly recommend you listen to part one.

This episode, from Northern Ireland, looks at events near Portadown during the period of just a few days at the height of the Troubles. Today the focus is on the quite dreadful Kingsmill Massacre which claimed the life of 10 innocent men.

This episode, from Northern Ireland, looks at events near Portadown during the period of just a few days at the height of the Troubles. Three terrorist attacks saw nine innocent civilians killed in a series of revenge attacks at the Central Bar in Gilford and at the homes of the Reavey & O'Dowd families.

And as we will see in the second part of the story (released on Tuesday 11 June) the violence still wasn't over.
