'Every day is another day without justice and I worry that I won't live to see victims and families get the justice they deserve'

The brother of 16-year-old William 'Billy' Temple who was killed in Claudy 50 years ago said he fears dying before getting justice for the victims and their families.

"It was the darkest of days," David Temple told MyDerry . "I remember the day as if it was yesterday. It's as vivid in my mind now as it was the day I was told that my brother Billy had been murdered. "There was a helper needed on the lorry that day and I will always remember the manager had told me that he had chosen Billy because he was in front of a bunch of lads and that was that. He apologised to me and I told him that he didn't owe me an apology."

"When I did arrive home the rest of the family - including my mother and father - were all there. My uncle was the one who had told us. He said that William had been killed in Claudy after an explosion. "I wake up every day and this is what I think about and it's the last thing that I think about before I go to sleep at night. I look at William's pictures. I remember leaving my mother down to her bed many a night and she would look up at his picture and she would ask him if there was going to be any justice.

Meanwhile, the family of Rose McLaughlin, who died as a result of her injuries from one of the blasts at Altnagevlin hospital on 3rd August 1972, said that 'words would never do justice to the devastation this brought upon our family'.
