1982 – 1998

On 14 November 1992, 3.2 tonnes of explosives was discovered during a routine check on a lorry travelling onStoke Newington Road inShacklewell, part of theA10, one of the main routes between London and the north. TheVolvo lorry was stopped by police around 1 am; the occupants fled.Constable Raymond Hall - a formerRoyal Engineer soldier andFalklands War veteran - chased the suspects to a residential street, Belgrade Road no.7 where he was shot twice by one of them.^[1] Shortly afterwards police arrested one man, Irish lorry driver Patrick Kelly, a member of theProvisional IRA, who was alleged to have been driving the lorry.^[2]

The large amount of explosives, which was bigger than that used in theBaltic Exchange bombing earlier that year, could have caused "massive destruction".^[3] Investigations found detonation material inside the lorry as well.^[4] Officers from theMetropolitan Police Anti-Terrorist Branch were unable to determine the intended target, although it occurred on the day of theLord Mayor's Show.

Arrests and convictions

[edit]

In October 1993, Kelly was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison for conspiracy to cause explosions, and for the attempted murder of Hall. Kelly was suffering fromskin cancer whilst in prison, but was denied medical treatment during his time in three prisons in England and Northern Ireland. Campaigners - which included MPJeremy Corbyn - won a case in 1996 to transfer him to a prison inPortlaoise in theRepublic of Ireland, where under Irish jurisdiction he received medical treatment for his serious illness. Despite treatment Kelly died on 11 June 1997. He was buried inCounty Laois in the Republic and his funeral attended by many people fromSouth Armagh.^[5]

In 1994, English IRA member Patrick Hayes, during sentencing at theOld Bailey for the1993 Harrods bombing and an attempted bombing inCanary Wharf,^[6] said that he was the driver in the Stoke Newington Road incident and that Kelly was innocent, convicted because of his Irish nationality.^[7]
