The relatives of a soldier who was killed in the 1974 Guildford pub bombing have been told that the police have a new'profitable line of probe, but they will not investigate it because they don't have enough time before the Legacy Act comes in. Any investigations into cases relating to the Northern Ireland Troubles will come to an end on May 1st, as it gives former soldiers and fighters involved in the decades of brutality conditional amnesties. Soldiers Caroline Slater, 18, William Forsyth, 18, John Hunter, 17, and civilian Paul Craig, 21, were killed in the explosion, which was carried out by the republican terror group during the Troubles in the Surrey town on October 5th, 1974. They were discovered in the pub by a young man and woman at an inquest in 2022 to have been 'unlawfully killed' by the bomb, which is equivalent to 18 sticks of dynamite.
