"Evidence against a former paratrooper who is accused of the murder of two civilians on Bloody Sunday is "fundamentally inconsistent", his defence has argued."
"The veteran, referred to as Soldier F for legal reasons, is charged with the murder of James Wray and William McKinney during disorder following a civil rights parade in Derry on January 30, 1972."
The defence contends that the evidence against Soldier F is fundamentally inconsistent. The accused is a former paratrooper and veteran. He faces charges over the deaths of two civilians, James Wray and William McKinney, who were killed during disorder following a civil rights parade in Derry on January 30, 1972. The events are linked to what became known as Bloody Sunday. Legal restrictions require reference to the accused as Soldier F. The case centers on reconciling conflicting evidence about actions taken during the disorder and whether the killings were unlawful.
