Relatives of five Catholic men killed in a loyalist gun attack on Sean Graham bookmakers in Belfast have voiced their frustration at continued delays in releasing a Police Ombudsman’s report into the murders.
Their concerns were raised on the 28th anniversary of the mass-killing.
Nationalists believe there was security force collusion in the murders.
The five men died when a UDA gunman burst into the Ormeau Road bookmakers in south Belfast and opened fire.
The dead included Peter Magee (18), James Kennedy (15), Christy Doherty (51), William McManus (54) and Jack Duffin (66).
Seven people were also injured in the attack.
An ombudsman investigation, called Operation Achille, was later launched to investigate the attack and the murder of six other people by the same UDA gang.
Publication of the report and several others has been delayed due legal action taken by retired police officers in a case linked to the ombudsman’s investigation into the 1994 Loughinisland massacre.
The discovery last year of fresh PSNI documents has also caused delays.
Relatives and campaigners met with the ombudsman last week to discuss the continued delays.
Maria Sykes, sister of Peter Magee, said: “We need this report in terms of healing, recovery and moving on as best we can – repairing our lives," she said.
Mark Thompson, CEO of Relatives for Justice, said relatives want their reports to “find out exactly what happened to their loved ones”.
Solicitor Nall Murphy said he shared the”frustrations about continuous delay”.
