Description

Billy Wright, 'King Rat’, founded the LVF to defy the UVF. That led to imprisonment. Incredibly Wright was gunned down inside the Maze maximum security prison. How did the INLA get a gun inside the jail and what was the LVF’s bloody response? 


Ciarán Dunbar is joined by the Belfast Telegraph security correspondent, Allison Morris.
