Overview

• Joe Mahon, who was 16 at the time, testified that a soldier raised his rifle and fired from the hip as people tried to flee Glenfada Park North.
• He said he was hit and lay beside Jim Wray and William McKinney, then saw the same soldier cross the courtyard and fire additional shots into Wray on the ground.
• Mahon told the court he pretended to be dead, heard the words “I’ve got another one,” and then saw the soldier kneel and aim at him before a shout of “First aid, don’t shoot.”
• He described a severe gunshot wound to his pelvis that required weeks in hospital, and he later pointed out a soldier on archival footage shown in court.
• The anonymous ex‑paratrooper known as Soldier F denies two murders and five attempted murders in the non‑jury Belfast trial, and the court has heard that only fellow soldiers’ statements place him in Glenfada Park North.
