David Holden, a former member of the Grenadier Guards, was 18 at the time of the killing in 1988.
Former soldier David Holden has been found guilty of the manslaughter of Aidan McAnespie in Tyrone 34 years ago.
He found that Holden had pointed a machine gun at Mr McAnespie and pulled the trigger, while assuming the gun was not cocked.In his written judgement, Mr Justice O'Hara said he was satisfied the defendant had not cocked the weapon himself before firing it. He also concluded Holden's explanation as to how the weapon came to be fired was "entirely unconvincing" and was a "deliberately false account of what happened".
Around a dozen other veterans are awaiting prosecution decisions from the Public Prosecution Service. "I'm thinking of my father and mother who prayed and prayed for this day and they're not here to see it," he said. At that time, staff from the Director of Public Prosecutions met with the senior RUC investigating detective and a forensic firearms expert and decided to withdraw the manslaughter charge.
