THE British government “is 90 per cent responsible” for the murder of five men shot dead in a Belfast bookies by loyalist gunmen in 1992, a relative of one of those killed said today.

Billy McManus, whose father was killed in the Sean Graham bookmakers massacre, said that he believes that collusion was a major factor in the shootings, which is why the British government wants an amnesty.

“Collusion is 90 per cent of my father’s murder. A British agent and a handler went into the barracks on the Malone Road and took handguns and rifles which went on to be used in several murders,” he told Sunday Lite.
