Former British Soldier to Stand Trial for Bloody Sunday Murders

The trial, marking a significant development in the pursuit of justice for the Bloody Sunday victims, comes as the 52nd anniversary of the events approaches.

A former British soldier, known only as Soldier F, will stand trial for the murders of James Wray and William McKinney during the Bloody Sunday events in Northern Ireland in 1972.
Soldier F is also accused of five attempted murders on the same day.
The decision to proceed with the trial was made during a hearing in Londonderry, with the trial set to take place at Belfast Crown Court at a date yet to be determined.
The prosecution of Soldier F was previously halted in 2021 due to concerns the case could collapse if it went to trial, but the decision was overturned following a challenge by the McKinney family.
The upcoming trial marks a significant development in the pursuit of justice for the Bloody Sunday victims, as next month represents the 52nd anniversary of the events.
