The only British soldier charged with murder over the 1972 Bloody Sunday massacre in Northern Ireland went on trial Monday in Belfast in a case that has come to symbolise the three decades of violence known as the Troubles.
The ex-paratrooper — known as Soldier F under a court anonymity order — is accused of murdering James Wray and William McKinney and attempting to murder five others on 30 January 1972, in Londonderry/Derry.
