Billy Hutchinson is an ex-UVF member and Loyalist who saw the Troubles heat up and erupt as he was a teen in sectarian Northern Ireland.

Billy told us about his growing up in the Shankill area, a working class Protestant part of Belfast and his community felt uncared for by their government despite identifying as loyal Brits.

Billy, in an attempt to join the UVF, set up a youth loyalist group and was being hunted by the British army before he was 16 years of age.

Billy recounts a chilling incident when he was abducted by the british army, brought to a field where they performed a mock-execution and then brought him to a barracks where he was hung from the ceiling by his hands and savagely beaten.

We spoke about the double-murder he took part in which resulted in Billy spending 10 years in Long Kesh. Billy told me about prison life, post-prison work for peace and much more
