The trial of an Army veteran charged with murder in relation to Bloody Sunday is expected to begin as planned later this month, a court has heard.

A short pre-trial hearing has been held at Belfast Crown Court, which dealt mainly with procedural and logistical matters.

Barristers told the judge they anticipated the trial of the former paratrooper, known as Soldier F, would commence on Monday, 15 September.

He is charged with murder in relation to the killings of James Wray and William McKinney.
