Sunday World
About this episode

Five murders carried out in a tiny area of Belfast and just a few streets apart bare chillingly similar hallmarks when it comes to the up close and personal style of the assassinations, the escape routes taken on foot through the Lenadoon estate and the activities of the victims.


Today we visit the crime scenes with Belfast Telegraph Crime Correspondent Allison Morris who believes the wave of gangland murder in Northern Ireland is chillingly linked and may have been carried out by a tight group of hitmen.


We look at the crime scenes outside a school, at a sports club bar and in the estate itself where the latest gun victim Kevin Conway was murdered this month.
