Description

Sam Marshall (31), a former Republican prisoner, was shot dead by the UVF in Lurgan, County Armagh. He, and two other Republicans, had earlier been to the RUC police station in the town to sign in as part of their bail conditions. The attack on the three men happened minutes after they had left the police station. Republicans claimed that there had been police collusion in the attack because only the men, their solicitors, and the police knew when they would be at the police station. They also claimed that the men were under security force surveillance at the time. The RUC rejected both allegations.
