THE former British soldier charged with two murders on Bloody Sunday will not be in court next week when the case comes before Derry Magistrates’ Court.

The ex-Paratrooper, known as Soldier F, is accused of murdering James Wray and William McKinney in 1972, as well as four counts of attempted murder.

The case is due in court for the first time on Wednesday, September 18, following a decision made in March to bring charges.

It is understood the former paratrooper will be represented by his legal team.

The relatives of the Bloody Sunday families have been informed.

Soldier F, now in his sixties, is not compelled to attend a first committal hearing if his lawyers are to mount a challenge to proceedings.
