Massereene trial decision adjourned
A court decision on whether prominent republican Colin Duffy will stand trial for the murder of two soldiers at Massereene barracks has been adjourned until Thursday.
The hearing, which will decide if there is sufficient evidence to proceed to a full trial, was originally scheduled to take place on Tuesday in Antrim Crown Court but has been adjourned until Thursday.
Duffy, 42, from Lurgan and Brian Shivers, 45, from Magherafelt, are accused of murdering Sappers Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey in a Real IRA gun attack in March 2009.
Both men deny the charges against them.
The prosecution case is based on DNA evidence.
The two soldiers were killed and four others were wounded when gunmen fired up to 60 bullets at troops as they went to retrieve a pizza delivery outside the barracks.
Sapper Patrick Azimkar was 21 and from London, although his mother was from Co Londonderry.
Sapper Mark Quinsey was 23 and from Birmingham.
Both victims were attached to 38 Engineer Regiment.
At the time of the attack, they were due to be deployed to Afghanistan.
