Lyra McKee and her investigation into the mysterious murder Lyra McKee and her investigation into the mysterious murder

The leaders of the D.U.P. and Sinn Féin came to a vigil in Creggan and stood together to denounce the killers. Canning spoke through tears. “Our hopes and dreams and all of her amazing potential was snuffed out in one barbaric act,” she said.

There must surely have been enough material to fashion a film twice as long, but Millar is to be praised for organising her material in a taut montage that adroitly balances the public with the private. It is hard to think of a time when the film would not be (to use a popular critical cliche) strangely relevant, but, given what’s going on now in Stormont, one cannot but raise an ironical eyebrow as, at her funeral, Father Martin Magill – equally impressive in new interviews – wonders why it then took “the death of a 29-year-old woman” to bring the politicians together. Donald Clarke He said senior members of the UUP had harboured suspicions about Bradford's murder. "I worked with Enoch Powell as his constituency agent and later as personal adviser to the party leader Jim Molyneaux," he said. No House of Commons officials would have gone into Bradford’s office to clear his desk. Even in 1981, an official said, the contents of the office would have been considered part of his estate. They held no records indicating anything to the contrary.I made another phone call, this time to Colin Wallace. During the 1970s, Wallace had been an information officer working for the British army in Northern Ireland, while simultaneously working for a secret intelligence unit. I’d asked him to dig around regarding Bradford and what he’d heard regarding the whispers that he’d been about to go public with something relating to Kincora. If anyone would know something, it would be Wallace. It is so sad that she never got to hold the final copy of Angels With Blue Faces in her hand," she said. One day, I met with Jeffrey Donaldson, a former UUP stalwart who'd worked closely with Jim Molyneaux who had later moved to the Democratic Unionist Party and was now the MP for Lagan Valley. He made an interesting claim. It is with great sadness but immense honour that we are now able to reveal the cover of Angels With Blue Faces," she said.

Both of them felt that there were suspicious aspects to the circumstances of Robert’s death. Jim always felt strongly that Robert had been investigating something that he was about to go public with when he died… He just always had the feeling that Robert had been set up by someone, elsewhere. Later, I discovered a document in Bradford’s inquest file, retrieved from the Public Records Office in Belfast. It was a letter authorising the release of contents from his Westminster office – yet it was dated 10 days after his murder. The author notes in the book's epilogue: "In England, somewhat recent claims of a paedophile ring centred on Westminster have largely been dismissed, meaning Hart's conclusions seem more readily accepted by the public than they may have been before." For those who have chosen not to buy, read or support the book following this ill-thought out story by the News Letter I implore you to learn more about Lyra and her family, her wishes and the work of Paper Trail, Excalibur Press and The Merlin Project for you will find that your decision is ill-informed by a news source you may have trusted and respected. I know I'm probably way late in saying this, but Lyra's death was a massive blow not only to her friends and family, but to the journalism world and Northern Ireland.

Shortly before Bradford died, he’d told two friends that if anything were to happen to him, they would find a letter in the drawer of his desk.

Within weeks, the MP who replaced Bradford, Rev Martin Smyth, told an audience in San Francisco that he knew who had murdered Bradford.

Murals in Derry make heroes of the I.R.A.’s “freedom fighters” and hunger strikers of the nineteen-seventies and eighties. But the city is also one of the few places in which dissident Republicans have a foothold, their most recent incarnation being the New I.R.A. Several of the group’s key figures participated in notorious I.R.A. atrocities during the Troubles. Some of their younger followers have been radicalized by the old “Brits out” rhetoric; others are marginalized, addicted to drugs or alcohol, or just bored, running wild with a sense of nothing to lose. A recent survey of young people in Derry found that ninety-five per cent of them saw no future in the city. Throughout countless interviews, a pattern was emerging that suggested Bradford had known he was going to be murdered. But why? What reason would he have had to believe he was going to be singled out, above all other Unionist politicians? Rivera, Gabe (3 November 2011). "Meet Mediagazer's New (Human) Editors". Mediagazer.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement and the film invites viewers to consider the experience of young people in Northern Ireland, where deep divisions continue and where reconciliation is still awaited.

There were two people who knew more than most about the last months of Bradford's life. Raymond Jordan was his election agent and his wife, Kay, had been Bradford's personal secretary. The very fact that they have now removed this story from their social media feeds is evidence that even they have understood the damage caused.
