Loyalist terrorist Billy “King Rat” Wright was identified to gardai as the gunman who tried to kill INLA boss Dominic McGlinchey – but was never charged, it has emerged.
“I identify this man as the man who tried to shoot Dominic,” a witness told gardai when he looked at a photograph of infamous killer Wright following the failed murder bid in Ardee, Co Louth at the height of the troubles.
Now, McGlinchey’s son Dominic Og is suing gardai over that investigation and the probe into his father’s murder in another part of Louth just under a year later.
