Torrens Knight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Torrens Knight is a former loyalist paramilitary, who belonged to the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF).

Knight was part of a four man UFF unit sent to avenge the Shankill Road bombing. Their target was the Rising Sun bar in Greysteel, where he, along with Stephen Irwin, Jeffrey Deeney and Brian McNeill shot eight people to death (including two Protestants).

Knight was given eight life sentences for his part in the killings and a further four more for the murder of a Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) member and three Catholic civilians in Castlerock, County Londonderry.

He was released in 2000 under the Good Friday Agreement.
