Sectarian attack victim Paul McCauley's grieving family plea for justice #BBCNolan
It should have been an ordinary fun-filled sunny summer's day in Derry in 2006 when Paul McCauley joined friends for a barbecue. He was blissfully unaware of the horror that was to come. Paul was battered senseless by a mob of loyalist thugs in a vicious and unprovoked attack. Why? Because he was a catholic. He suffered severe injuries, including a brain hemorrhage, a fractured skull, and had two heart attacks on the way to hospital. His father says he literally had his head kicked in. He survived only to lie in a coma for nine years. Paul passed away at the weekend, aged 38, prompting the PSNI to immediately launch a murder investigation.
