By Rebecca Black, PAThe scope of a fresh inquest into the death of a man in an incident involving soldiers in Co Derry is to be considered. A previous review hearing was told it was envisaged the inquest would proceed in February 2024. A review hearing on Friday heard an argument over whether a recent Supreme Court judgment should impact the scope of the Bradley inquest.

During a review hearing in the Francis Bradley inquest, lawyers made submissions around the impact of that ruling.
