The Gunmen: Billy Wright (Part One), the rise of King Rat
Published 7 months, 1 week ago
Description
LVF leader Billy Wright was charismatic, religious, ruthless and cold. A sectarian murderer but a hero to many in loyalism. Wright was feared by most but respected by some for ‘taking the war to the IRA’.
Where did 'King Rat' come from, how did he live his life and why did he take the lives of others?
Ciarán Dunbar is joined by the Belfast Telegraph’s security correspondent Allison Morris.
