The families of two unarmed civilians shot dead by the Army in Londonderry more than half century ago say they are devastated two soldiers will not be prosecuted over their killings.
The Public Prosecution Service (PPS) said on Monday there was insufficient evidence to prosecute the soldiers suspected of shooting dead Annette McGavigan, 14, and 41-year-old William McGreanery.
Majorie Roddy, Mr McGreanery’s niece, said while the family had hoped for a different outcome, the PPS decision was “not unexpected”.
Martin McGavigan, Annette’s brother, said his family had been “living in hope” but are now “broken hearted”.
