The first court hearing in the case of a former British paratrooper charged over Bloody Sunday killings will take place in Derry later.
'Soldier F' faces two murder charges and four attempted murder charges dating back to 1972, but but will not be attending today's hearing:
13 people were killed during Bloody Sunday in 1972 in Derry, when British soldiers shot 28 unarmed civilians at a protest march.
Nobody has been prosecuted over the deaths, despite numerous campaigns by victims families.
Earlier this year, the North's Public Prosecution Service announced that a former British soldier - known as 'Soldier F' - would face murder charges in connection with the events 47 years ago.
The former soldier is charged with the murders of James Wray and William McKinney, along with the attempted murder of four others.
Later today, the case is due in court for the first time .
The former paratrooper will not be attending today's hearing at Derry Magistrates Court.
He is not compelled to appear at a first committal hearing, and instead will be represented by his legal team.
