In a huge possession along the Falls Road in Belfast Alex Murphy was laid to rest yesterday. In young years, he was the most junior political prisoner of the republican movement in the notorious Long Kesh prison, only being 15 years old. When British army officers in plain clothes attacked a funeral procession in 1988 by driving the car into the march and starting to shoot, it supposedly was Alex Murphy who killed both officers – at least this is what he was convicted and sentences for life for.
