Trial of Soldier F underway in Belfast

The trial of a former British paratrooper charged with two murders on Bloody Sunday is underway in Belfast.

Soldier F – who can’t be identified – denies killing James Wray and William McKinney at a civil rights march in Derry in 1972.

The ex-soldier also denies the attempted murders of five others – Patrick O’Donnell, Joseph Friel, Joe Mahon, Michael Quinn and an unknown person.

He is screened from public view in the court, as his identity remains protected by a court order.
