18-year-old Peter McBride was murdered in Belfast on 4 September 1992 by Mark Wright and James Fisher, members of a Scots Guards battalion commanded by Tim Spicer. The unarmed father of two was shot dead minutes after being stopped and searched by a British Army patrol.[1]
Local police were not able to speak to the two soldiers until some hours after the shooting.[2] In the meantime, the men were interviewed by Spicer along with three other officers. Spicer later wrote “I thought between us we could reach a balanced judgement on what happened.”[3] The delay gave rise to allegations that the Army was helping the men to prepare a defence.[4]
Lt Col Spicer has since maintained the same version of events as Wright and Fisher, that the two soldiers believed McBride was about to throw a coffee jar bomb contained in a plastic bag he was carrying.[5] This in spite of the fact that McBride had been searched moments earlier by members of the same patrol. The bag was subsequently found to contain a t-shirt.[6]
