Michael Stone (loyalist)
Michael Stone (born 2 April 1955) is an Ulster loyalist who was a volunteer in the Ulster Defence Association (UDA). Stone was born in England but raised in the Braniel estate in East Belfast, Northern Ireland. Convicted of murdering three people and injuring more than 60 in an attack on mourners at Milltown Cemetery in 1988, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. While in jail, he became one of the leaders of the Ulster Defence Association/Ulster Freedom Fighters (UDA/UFF) prisoners.〔
In 2000, Stone was released from prison on licence under the Belfast Agreement and subsequently worked as an artist and writer. In November 2006, Stone was charged with (among other offences) the attempted murder of Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams, having been arrested attempting to enter the parliament buildings at Stormont while armed.〔(Stone convicted of SF murder bids ) BBC news, 14 November 2008〕 Stone was subsequently convicted and sentenced to a further 16 years' imprisonment.〔(Michael Stone jailed for 16 years for SinnFein murder plot ) Sky news, 8 December 2008〕
==Early life==
Stone was born in Harborne, Birmingham, to English parents Cyril Alfred Stone and his wife Mary Bridget (née O'Sullivan).〔Michael Stone, ''None Shall Divide Us'', John Blake Publishing, 2003, p. 1〕 Mary Bridget walked out on the marriage soon after Stone's birth and Cyril Alfred enlisted in the Merchant Navy, leaving the infant Michael in the care of John Gregg and his wife Margaret (Cyril's sister) who lived in Ballyhalbert.〔Stone, ''None Shall Divide Us'', p. 2〕 Stone has claimed that he suspects his biological mother may have been a Catholic because of her name but added that he was baptised in the Church of Ireland by the Greggs and as such he has always self-identified as Protestant.〔Stone, ''None Shall Divide Us'', p. 4〕 Cyril Stone subsequently remarried and had two children, Michael Stone's half-siblings, by his second wife – Tracey and Terence – the latter of whom converted to Buddhism and became a monk in Southeast Asia.〔Stone, ''None Shall Divide Us'', p. 5〕 The Greggs had five biological children with whom Stone was raised and whom he identifies as siblings, a son John and four daughters, Rosemary, Colleen, Sharon and Shirley.〔Stone, ''None Shall Divide Us'', p. 9〕
The Greggs moved to the Braniel estate on the outskirts of Belfast in 1959 due to John Gregg securing employment with Harland and Wolff shipyard.〔Stone, ''None Shall Divide Us'', p. 7〕 Stone attended Braniel Primary School and Lisnasharragh Secondary School, where fellow pupils included George Best, who was in the same class as Stone's sister Rosemary Gregg.〔Stone, ''None Shall Divide Us'', pp. 12–13〕 Stone enrolled in the Army Cadet Force as a fourteen-year-old where he received basic training in firearm use.〔Stone, ''None Shall Divide Us'', p. 13〕 Stone was expelled from school at fifteen and a half after a series of playground fights and left Lisnasharragh with no formal qualifications.〔Stone, ''None Shall Divide Us'', p. 14〕 He would find work as a "hammer boy" in the shipyard only a few weeks later.〔Stone, ''None Shall Divide Us'', p. 19〕 However he got into a fight with another worker and, following a suspension, resigned his position.〔Stone, ''None Shall Divide Us'', pp. 21–22〕
