Police Memorial Tribute
His wife and two British Soldiers were also killed in the same incident.
About 8.30pm, the party was returning to Ballyturin House after a game of tennis. As they approached the gates of the house they were ambushed by a party of gunmen. Of the five people in the car, the only survivor described how up to twenty men surrounded the vehicle and poured bullets into the victims.
