Captioned with the following artist's text:

Tuesday 8th October 1974
Five construction workers working on the City Hospital building site, were attacked with machine gun fire. All were seriously injured and one man died in hospital from his wounds.

In the series, Sectarian Murder, Seawright revisited the sites of 1970s Sectarian attacks, close to where he grew up in Belfast. The texts are from newspaper reports at the time and document the murders of innocent civilians, killed for their perceived religion. Reference to Protestant or Catholic background was removed from the text.

Exhibited in more than 20 countries, most recently in Planet Parr in Munich and Paris, The Troubles Archive - OBG Belfast and the British Council Collection exhibition at London's Whitechapel Gallery.
