British Army spy caused ‘more lives lost than saved’

The police chief who led an inquiry into the activities of British Army double-agent ‘Stakeknife’ during ‘The Troubles’ in Northern Ireland, has described claims that his actions saved countless lives as being ‘hugely exaggerated’.

Speaking at the publication of his ‘Operation Kenova’ report, chief constable Jon Boutcher from the Police Service of Northern Ireland insists the spy’s actions ‘resulted in more lives being lost than were saved’.
