A British soldier faces murder charges over 1972 killings, with trial ongoing in Belfast.

The trial of Soldier F, a former British paratrooper accused in the 1972 Bloody Sunday killings of James Wray and William McKinney, continues at Belfast Crown Court. Judge Patrick Lynch rejected a defense request to dismiss the case, allowing testimony from two former soldiers to be admitted despite reliability concerns. Soldier F, who denies seven charges including murder and attempted murder, has not testified. The non-jury trial, which began last month, is part of a broader effort to address accountability for the 13 civilian deaths during a civil rights protest. The judge will deliver his verdict on October 23.
