A former British soldier known only as Soldier F has been acquitted at Belfast Crown Court of murder and attempted murder over the 1972 Bloody Sunday shootings in Derry.
The ruling ends one of the most high-profile Troubles-era prosecutions in Northern Ireland. Soldier F, a former lance corporal in the Parachute Regiment, had been accused of killing two men and attempting to kill five others when troops opened fire on unarmed demonstrators.
