Francis Bradley shot dead by soldiers in 1986

A fresh inquest into the death of a man in an incident involving soldiers in Co Derry almost three decades ago is set to resume in early 2024.

Francis Bradley was killed in disputed circumstances at a farm on the Hillhead Road in Toomebridge on February 18, 1986 by soldiers identified only as Soldier A and Soldier C.

At the time of the killing, the IRA said Mr Bradley was not a member its organisationthe.

However, his name was later added to the organisation’s ‘Roll of Honour’.

In 2010, the then attorney general John Larkin KC ordered a fresh inquest into the controversial killing.

The inquest opened in April and heard from a number of witnesses.

It is being heard in modular format, with the opening tranche of evidence that was not considered controversial in the initial hearings before being adjourned.

Work remains ongoing around military witnesses and material from the Ministry of Defence.

A review hearing in Belfast on Tuesday was told it was envisaged it would proceed in February 2024.

Before the resumption of the inquest, a scoping hearing is to take place in October.
