- William James Fulton (loyalist paramilitary)
William James Fulton is a Loyalist Paramilitary and member of the Loyalist Volunteer Force, or LVF, a designated terrorist organization active in Northern Ireland.
Fulton was convicted in 2006 for several LVF related crimes and sentenced life in prison. Under British Law he will have to serve at least 28 years. He was convicted of ordering the 1999 murder of Elizabeth O’Neil, who’s home was attacked with a pipe bomb because she was Protestant and her husband Catholic. He was also found guilty of seven attempted murders, four of them arrising from a homemade grenade attack on riot police during the Drumcree protests in 1998, two drug offences, possession of a handgun used to murder a Catholic taxi driver in 1996 and around 40 other charges.
Much of the evidence against Fulton consisted of claims he had made to undercover police officers while living in England. At trial he claimed that he had lied in order to impress the men, believing they were petty criminals.
James Fulton is the brother of Mark ‘Swinger’ Fulton, who took over command of the LVF after the assassination of Billy Wright in 1997. Mark Fulton committed suicide in 2002 while in Maghaberry prison.
