We’re back to finish our look at the Shankill Butchers and their reign of terror in Belfast in Northern Ireland. Throughout the mid to late 70s, the Butchers held captive an area that was already terrorized by sectarian violence, violence that allowed the Butchers to carry out their attacks under a veil of anonymity for 18 months. Forewarning: this episode deals with graphic violence.
