Birmingham bombing inquests opened

  • 5 years ago
Inquests have been opened into the deaths of those killed in the Birmingham bombings. Twenty-one people lost their lives when two pubs were attacked in 1974. The inquests, which are being held in Birmingham, are the culmination of years of campaigning by relatives of the dead for a full account into the circumstances of what happened on the night of 21st November 1974. Julie Hambleton, whose sister Maxine was killed in the bombings, said it was time that the lives, names and memories of the victims are known and remembered. Report by Jonesia.
