The atrocity is the worst unsolved terrorist attack on UK soil and victims' families hope a public inquiry could force the disclosure of new evidence and finally identify those responsible.
A memorial has been held for the 21 people killed 50 years ago today in the IRA pub bombings in Birmingham. Twin blasts went off minutes apart in the Mulberry Bush, at the bottom of the Rotunda building, and the Tavern in the Town in New Street. Another 182 people were injured but no one has ever been brought to justice, with families today renewing calls for an urgent public inquiry.
Maxine's family believe the 2019 inquest into the incident was a 'whitewash'. They hope a public inquiry could force documents - currently under a 75-year secrecy order - to be disclosed, as well as compelling people to give evidence. 'That could potentially bring about new evidence,' said Ms Hambleton. 'With that new evidence there is a possibility that a fresh investigation could take place, where a potential perpetrator or perpetrators could be investigated.
