The Bloody Sunday inquiry in Derry has heard a claim that paratroopers involved in the killings of 14 civilians in January 1972 were later responsible for torturing and electrocuting a man in West Belfast. The allegation was revealed in a statement from a former British soldier as the inquiry resumed after a summer break. One of the three judges who resigned since then has been replaced by a former High Court Justice from Australia, John Toohey. The inquiry is expected to spend at least another two years investigating the deaths of those killed by British troops in 1972.
