Relatives of a number of Catholic and Protestant victims of loyalist paramilitary killings have met with Northern Ireland's Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan in Belfast.
The killings were carried out over an eight year period between 1993 and 2000 by paramilitaries believed to have been from a section of the UVF in North Belfast.
Today's meeting took place on the eve of publication of a controversial report by the Ombudsman.
It is expected to reveal that elements of the then RUC turned a blind eye to the crimes because those who carried them out were Special Branch informers.
