A review has cast doubts on the official account of a controversial killing in Co Tyrone 20 years ago.
The review is part of an inquiry process set up by the British government to examine the deaths that took place during the Troubles.
Aidan McAnespie, 24, died in February 1988 after he was shot by a solider at a British Army border checkpoint in Aughnacloy.
The Historical Enquiries Team has been examining the evidence around the killing of Mr McAnespie, a Catholic shot dead on his way to a GAA match.
Guardsman David Holden said at the time that his wet fingers had slipped when accidentally moving a machine gun and that one of the three bullets discharged had killed Mr McAnespie.
The new investigation examined two other theories: one that the shot had been deliberately fired or secondly, that the soldier had been tracking Mr McAnespie and that he had pressed on what he did not know was a cocked trigger.
The soldier involved was given a medical discharge in 1990.
The team has concluded that the soldier's account of events is the least likely one.
The McAnespie family have welcomed the report, saying it is the closest they have got to the truth of what occurred.
Eilish McAnespie, Aidan's sister, had challenged the army's version of events for many years. She died during the summer.
