Frankie Curry
Frankie Curry (c.1955 – 17 March 1999) nicknamed "Pigface",〔McDonald & Cusack, p. 284〕 was an Ulster loyalist who was involved with a number of paramilitary groups during his long career. A critic of the Northern Ireland peace process, Curry was killed during a loyalist feud.
==UVF and RHC==
A native of Belfast's Shankill Road and a nephew of Gusty Spence,〔 Curry became involved in the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) at an early age, claiming that he had helped conceal guns in the aftermath of the June 1966 murder of Catholic civilian Peter Ward by Spence, Robert Williamson and Hugh McClean in the Malvern Arms bar on the Shankill.〔David McKittrick, ''Lost Lives: The Stories of The Men, Women and Children who Died Through the Northern Ireland Troubles'', Edinburgh: Mainstream, 1999, p. 28〕〔Jim Cusack & Henry McDonald, ''UVF'', Dublin: Poolbeg, 1997, pp. 12-13〕
Curry's reputation within the UVF soon grew and in 1972 at the age of 17, he was a central figure in the plot to break his uncle Gusty Spence out of the Maze Prison. Curry was driving Spence back to prison after a period of leave when their car was stopped by a UVF patrol and Spence was "abducted". In fact both Curry and Spence were closely involved in planning and executing the supposed kidnapping.〔Steve Bruce, ''The Red Hand: Protestant Paramilitaries in Northern Ireland'', Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1992, p. 110〕 Curry knew in advance the Springmartin Road location on which the event was to take place and had been told specially by the UVF leadership to drive Spence that day.〔Peter Taylor, ''Loyalists'', London: Bloomsbury, 1999, p. 111〕
Curry operated as part of the UVF's elite Red Hand Commando (RHC) and was said to have been responsible for at least twelve of the killings claimed by the RHC〔 Curry himself would claim to have been involved in at least 16 deaths,〔Michael Cox, Adrian Guelke, Fiona Stephen, ''A Farewell to Arms?: Beyond the Good Friday Agreement'', Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2006, p. 151〕 claiming 19 in another interview,〔 and had even described himself as a serial killer.〔Wood, p. 201〕 He stated that he had killed Bernard Rice, Patrick McCrory and Sean McConville in 1972 before killing Michael Coleman, Joseph McAleese, John McCormick and Thomas Holmes Curry the following year. All seven men were Catholic civilians.〔David McKittrick et al, ''Lost Lives'', Mainstream Publishing, 2008, p. 1469〕
