William McGreanery, 41, died on 15 September 1971, after a soldier opened fire from an Army observation post overlooking the Bogside.

Mr McGreanery, a shop assistant, was shot after a member of the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards – known as Soldier A - opened fire from an Army sanger overlooking the junctions of Eastway, Lone Moor Road and Westland Street.

In interviews with the HET, Soldier A denied that he had shot Mr McGreanery in revenge for the earlier murder of a soldier and insisted it had been a spur of the moment response to a perceived threat.

The family of a man who died after being shot by a British soldier more than 50 years ago in Londonderry have been awarded a "significant financial settlement".

Former soldier Daniel Khalife has denied asking Iranian agents for help after he escaped from prison.
