British soldier accused of murdering Daniel Hegarty during Troubles to have identity disclosed.
The identity of a deceased British soldier accused of murdering 15-year-old Daniel Hegarty in Derry during the Troubles in 1972 will be disclosed next week. This follows the soldier's relatives opting to lift his anonymity, with no objections from the Hegarty family. Daniel was shot during Operation Motorman, and a civil claim for unlawful killing is set for January. Criminal charges against the soldier were previously dropped after a related trial collapsed.
