What were the key failings of the police investigation into the murder of Peter Gallagher, and what were the direct consequences of these failures?

The Police Ombudsman found the investigation into the 1993 loyalist murder of Peter Gallagher to be wholly inadequate, citing a failure to arrest 12 individuals identified as suspects despite significant intelligence linking them to the crime. The report highlights the cessation of surveillance on the UDA/UFF two days prior to the murder, directly enabling the attack.
