FINDINGS
9.34.
The evidence suggests strongly that Lundie Murphy was
killed by the security forces in circumstances where he was clearly
unarmed in their custody and in no position to be a violent threat to
them. But since there is no satisfactory evidence of the actual
shooting, we cannot attribute the shooting specifically to either the
JDF or JCF. On Ms. Newton’s evidence, members of both forces were in
the vicinity at the time but a wall obstructed her view of Lundie.
Kirkpatrick Path is a cul-de-sac. The post mortem report’s findings are
consistent with Murphy having been beaten about his face and shot at
a time when members of the JDF and JCF were in the sector. The
evidence suggests, at a high level of probability, that a criminal offence
may have been committed and we recommend that there be further
investigation into Lundie Murphy’s death.
