Video interviews with Sam Kincaid, Assistant Chief Constable of the RUC, and Gareth Peirce, London-based solicitor, for ITN on 15 March 1999. Earlier that day Rosemary Nelson, the prominent Lurgan solicitor, was killed by a car bomb in Co. Armagh. A loyalist paramilitary group calling itself the Red Hand Defenders later claimed responsibility for the attack. Kincaid appeals for public support in providing information about the case while Peirce criticises the security provided to Nelson. The clip also includes earlier footage of Rosemary Nelson being interviewed on the subject of threats to her life.
