Killing of Robert Hamill
On 27 April 1997, Robert Hamill, an Irish Catholic man, was beaten to death by a loyalist mob in Portadown, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. Hamill and his friends were attacked on the town's main street. It was alleged that the local Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), parked a short distance away, did not intervene to stop the attack. At the time, tension between Ulster loyalists (mainly Protestants) and Irish nationalists (mainly Catholics) was high, largely due to the ongoing Drumcree parade dispute.
