On July 8, 1981, a mother of three left her Northern Ireland home to get milk. She never made it home.
Norah McCabe, 33, was gunned down as she walked down the street by a plastic bullet fired from the barrel of a police man's gun.
The Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) would later claim they were defending officers who were about to be attacked with a petrol bomb as riots and disorder broke out on the streets of Belfast. It was all a lie.
Over 40 years later, her family still do not know why Norah, whose youngest child was just three months old when she was killed, was targeted with the deadly weapon round.
Her son James speaks exclusively to No Edit about the mum he never got to love, his family's fight for truth and the ongoing campaign to end the use of plastic bullets that are still being used by police forces around the world today.
