On this day in 1989, loyalists in collusion with British 'security forces', murdered Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane in his home in front of his wife and three children. 
Three weeks previously Conservative MP Douglas Hogg, in a dog whistle to loyalists, stated that some solicitors in the North were "unduly sympathetic to the cause of the IRA".
Hogg is still alive with some grand title..  an earl or something.
