I have added this article to our look back at the history of Newry’s past as one cannot cherry pick the items; in order to move on in our future we must always remember the past. “One of the men called on Lockhart and a small boy to come with him, Lockhart hesitated in order to speak to his mother, the gunman shouted ‘You don’t obey’ and shot Lockhart through the heart in the presence of his father, mother and sisters.” The Heaslip family met a similar end as the article explains, “The Heaslip family were ordered out of the house, the man and his son were took down the road and shot dead, Mrs Heaslip ran to their side grasping her hands, the gunman returned and emptied further shots into the dead bodies.”
