Eoghan Harris's selective silence about police killed during robberies.

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Wednesday January 11, 2012 17:08author by pat c Report this post to the editors

Eoghan Harris never lets up on the killers of Jerry McCabe. But what does he have to say about the killers of RUC inspector Elliott? Harris was a member of Official Sinn Fein when this killing took place. The OIRA were supposedly on ceasefire for 2 1/2 years. There is no record of Harris condemning the killing of Insp Elliot at the timet. Will he condemn it now and explain why he thought it was ok in 1974?

Could it be that Harris is a hypocrite?

Two men have been arrested by detectives investigating the murder of a policeman shot dead during a bank robbery in Northern Ireland almost 40 years ago. RUC Inspector Bill Elliott was gunned down as he attended the scene of the robbery in north Belfast in 1974.

The 58- and 61-year-old suspects were detained in Co Antrim this morning. They have been taken to the police’s serious crime suite in Antrim town for questioning. Mr Elliott was driving on his own when he heard news that a robbery was under way at the Ulster Bank in the Rathcoole area in September 1974. The 48-year-old, who was married with a son, raced to the scene and died after a shootout with republicans from the Official IRA who were armed with two submachine guns and a pistol.

Mr Elliott was posthumously awarded the Queen’s Police Medal.

The original investigation became the focus of controversy when 18-year-old student Ronan Bennett - who is now an author and screenwriter – was convicted in connection with the killing, despite maintaining his innocence. He said the evidence against him, from a witness who gave a description of one of the gang, changed a number of times. His conviction was quickly quashed by the Northern Ireland Appeal Court, which cleared his name within a year of the trial.

Detectives reopened the cold case last October and quickly arrested a 57-year-old man. The suspect was later released.
