In this Tuesday, October 15, 2019 file photo showing a Loyalist mural painted on a wall in east Belfast, Northern Ireland. Rory Finnis was only 21 years old when he was killed in 1991 by the Irish Republican Army. Accused of “informing” the Northern Ireland government of the paramilitary group’s activities, the boy from Londonderry was shot in the head. His hands had been tied behind his back and his eyes taped closed. Details of Finnis’ death, along with many others, have been revealed in archives newly opened by the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland. The files concern the violent period known as “The Troubles”, which centred on whether Northern Ireland would be part of the United Kingdom, as it is today, or join the Republic of Ireland.
