A FORMER paratrooper known as Soldier F has been found not guilty at Belfast Crown Court of committing two murders and five attempted murders on Bloody Sunday in Londonderry in 1972.
-
In his judgment Judge Patrick Lynch told Belfast Crown Court that on Bloody Sunday a number of members of the Parachute Regiment entered Glenfada Park North in Londonderry and started firing at unarmed civilians at a distance of 50 metres or less.
He said this resulted in two murders and a number of people being unlawfully wounded.
The judge said: “They had totally lost all sense of military discipline. They were members of a regiment formed in 1942 at the behest of prime minister Churchill and had a proud record in World War Two.”
