Claudy bomb families remember day 'community was torn apart' 50 years ago

The brother of 16-year-old William 'Billy' Temple who was killed in Claudy 50 years ago said he fears dying before getting justice for the victims and their families.

David Temple, 69, was the oldest of four brothers and two sisters when he received the news that his brother was one of the nine victims killed when three no-warning bombs devastated the village of Claudy in Co Derry in 1972.

At 10:15am on July 31, the first bomb exploded with two others following in quick succession - changing the face and hearts of the local community forever.
