On 16 October 1992., a young mother was shot dead in the York
Hotel on Botanic Avenue in Belfast. The killing was carried
out by a lone UVF assassin, who had strolled casually into the
hotel bar, his face covered by a scarf, a hat pulled low over
his eyes. He looked around the room before calmly walking over
to a table where three young people were sitting talking,
unaware of his approach. He produced an automatic machine
pistol and fired it at 29-year-old Sheena Campbell, striking
her several times in the chest and throat.
