New inquests open into the deaths by shooting of 10 people in Ballymurphy, Belfast on 9, 10 and 11 Aug 1971 during a security forces called Operation Demetrius. What is now known as the Ballymurphy Massacre occurred when British soldiers moved into the Republican areas in West Belfast to arrest IRA members although alternative allegations have been made that an Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) sniper shot some of the 10.
