Naomi Long: NI legacy prosecutions should proceed 'where evidence allows'



The decision to xo drop murder cases against two ex-British soldiers does not mean future legacy prosecutions should not go ahead,
NI's justice minister has said.

Naomi Long's comments come after it emerged that two Army veterans facing murder charges from the Northern Ireland Troubles
will not face trial.

The cases involve individuals known as Soldier F and Soldier B.

Soldier F was to be prosecuted over two deaths on Bloody Sunday.

The case against Soldier B related to the death of 15-year-old Daniel Hegarty, who was shot twice in the head in Londonderry in
July 1972.

Mrs Long said she could not comment on the decisions but added that the families of William McKinney, James Wray and Daniel Hegarty
have the right to seek a review.

She told BBC's Sunday Politics programme that she had "huge sympathies" and that it had been a "traumatic and distressing time for
them".

Mrs Long rejected suggestions that Friday's events meant that an alternative was needed in how Troubles-era legacy cases are handled.

She said the detailed statement from the Public Prosecution Service (PPS), referring to another case in which the murder trial of two
other Army veterans collapsed, shows that is not the case.
