High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The killing of Anne Ogilby, also known as the "Romper Room killing", took place in Sandy Row, south Belfast, Northern Ireland on 24 July 1974. It was a punishment killing, carried out by members of the Sandy Row women`s Ulster Defence Association (UDA) unit. At the time the UDA was a legal loyalist paramilitary organisation. The victim, Anne Ogilby, a 31-year-old Protestant single mother of four, was beaten to death by two teenaged girls after being sentenced to a "rompering" (UDA slang term for a torture session followed by death) at a kangaroo court. Ogilby had been having an affair with a married UDA man, William Young, who prior to his internment, had made her pregnant. His wife, Elizabeth Young, was a member of the Sandy Row women`s UDA unit. Ogilby had made defamatory remarks against her in public regarding food parcels. Eight weeks after Ogilby had given birth to Young`s son, the women decided that Ogilby would pay for both the affair and remarks with her life. The day following the kangaroo court "trial", they arranged for the kidnapping of Ogilby and her six-year-old daughter, Sharleen outside a Social Services office by UDA man Albert "Bumper" Graham.
