A former British soldier convicted of the manslaughter of an unarmed man at an army checkpoint in Northern Ireland has abandoned a legal bid to clear his name.
Earlier this year David Holden, 54, received a suspended sentence for killing Aidan McAnespie in February 1988.
But in an unexpected development, defence counsel informed the three-judge panel that the challenge was being withdrawn. No further details were disclosed.Mr McAnespie was killed as he walked through a security checkpoint in Aughnacloy, Co Tyrone. However, following a non-jury trial, Mr Justice O’Hara found him guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence.
