Description

A Catholic, 31-year-old Eddie Traynor, was shot dead by the LVF in north Belfast. The LVF published a statement claiming responsibility for the attack, which was considered retaliation for the killing of Billy Wright. They warned of further attacks, though it was questioned whether the LVF was acting alone.
