In condizioni gravissime Harry “Harmless” Stockman. Un trentenne è stato fermato e viene interrogato dagli investigatori
Mercoledì pomeriggio Stockman è stato aggredito da un solo assalitore mentre era all’esterno del Tesco di Ballygomartin Road, davanti ai consumatori atterriti.
Harry “Harmless” Stockman è un importante lealista proveniente dalla zona di Greater Shankill. A giugno 2009 annunciò il disarmo della UVF. Si è appreso che sarebbe stato accoltellato 8 volte. Fonti provenienti da Shankill Road affermano che il lealista è stato lasciato sull’asfalto quasi morto.
I residenti collegano questo accoltellamento all’omicidio di Bobby Moffett, colpito a morte in pieno giorno a Shankill Road durante una faida. La dirigenza UVF, come confermato anche dall’Independent Monitoring Commission, aveva avallato l’omicidio.
Un trentenne residente nella zona è stato arrestato e viene interrogato dagli investigatori della Police Service of Northern Ireland.

Victim named locally as Harry ‘Harmless’ Stockman, and a man in his 30s is being questioned by detectives
He was attacked by a lone assailant outside Tesco on the Ballygomartin Road on Wednesday afternoon in front of terrified shoppers.
He was named locally as Harry “Harmless” Stockman, from the loyalist Greater Shankill area, who announced in June 2009 that the UVF was disarming. It is understood he was stabbed eight times. Sources on the Shankhill road told the Guardian the senior loyalist has since died.
Local residents were linking the stabbing to the UVF murder last year of Bobby Moffett, shot dead on the Shankill Road in broad daylight as part of a feud
