Hearsay can be used in the trial of a British soldier charged with two murders on Bloody Sunday.

Derry Magistrates Court decided evidence from five soldiers would be dealt with in a "fair and reliable fashion" in a case against the former paratrooper known as "Soldier F".

He's accused of shooting dead two civil rights protesters in Derry in 1972.

The day known as Bloody Sunday is one of the darkest days of the Troubles.

13 people were killed on January 30th 1972 when the British Parachute Regiment opened fire on the civil rights demonstrators.

A 14th person later died.
