Bloody Sunday soldiers face fresh threat of murder charges, after families force prosecutors into review

The Telegraph  

Nine more Army veterans could be charged with murder and attempted murder on Bloody Sunday almost 50 years ago after prosecutors in Northern Ireland announced a case review. The soldiers, who all served in the parachute regiment, were informed seven months ago that they would not be prosecuted over the deaths of 13 civil rights marchers in Londonderry on January 30 1972. But the law firm Madden and Finucane Solicitors submitted a legal challenge to the PPS over claims a further nine soldiers, who also retain anonymity, should be charged. The lawyers have also asked that three further murder charges be brought against Soldier F along with two additional attempted murder charges.
