Panorama

Lethal Force (1991x25)

Air date: Jul 22, 1991

John Ware investigates a chain of recent killings by British soldiers in Northern Ireland. In some instances, new forensic documents or new eye-witnesses suggest that soldiers lied about what happened, or tampered with the evidence. In another incident, one of the security forces' own informers was shot dead. 'Shoot to kill' may not be official government policy; Panorama examines if it's developed into a practice.
