Assume Nothing

Episode 4: Operation Yurta


Listen Later

The story of two journalists who investigated an unsolved mass murder in Northern Ireland.

Six men were shot dead by Loyalist paramilitaries in the Height’s Bar, Loughinisland on the 18th June 1994.

No-one has ever been charged or convicted.

Episode 4 – Operation Yurta

On the day of the film’s Belfast premiere, police announce a new investigation – into the suspected theft of sensitive documents from the Police Ombudsman of Northern Ireland.

Barry McCaffrey and Trevor Birney are arrested nine months later and their homes and offices are searched.

While they are questioned about four offences - theft, handling stolen goods, unlawfully disclosing personal data and offences under the Official Secrets Act - their legal teams must make an urgent decision.
