Paper Trail ✒  Secret British Army documents prove just how close its agents were to Ulster Defence Association (UDA) leaders and UDA “Romper Room” killers in the winter of 1972.

 

The previously unseen British Military Intelligence files lead families to question why the killers were not stopped long before many other Catholic civilians died at their hands.

Paper Trail has been working with a number of families whose loved ones were murdered by the UDA’s notorious G4 Romper Room killers led by Ned McCreery and British soldier Albert “Ginger” Baker in 1972.

G4 referred to Number 4 Platoon of G Company UDA in the Lower Newtownards Road area of East Belfast. In these British military files, the gang is also referred to as the Young Newtons.
Romper Rooms

They have a particularly dark space reserved in our shared history due to the terrible deaths they gave their victims in “Romper Rooms”.

The torture chambers became known as “Romper Rooms” in UDA parlance after the children’s television show and “rompering” referred to the vicious beating and torturing of victims prior to their murder.

The gang was responsible for multiple murders from the summer of 1972 to the late winter of 1973.

    On the 9th of July, 1972, the IRA killed Gerard David Turkington, apparently a "section leader in 'G' Company, 3rd Battalion (Auxiliaries)."

    I have no idea if he was part of McCreery's band of villains, but suspect he probably wasn't a killer.
