A man's been acquitted of murdering two British soldiers in Northern Ireland.

47 year old Brian Shivers from Co Derry had denied all involvement in the gun attack outside the Massereene Army barracks in Antrim in March 2009.

Sappers Mark Quinsey, 23, and Patrick Azimkar, 21, were shot dead by two masked gunmen as they collected pizzas outside the gates of the barracks.

Two other soliders and two pizza delivery men were also injured in the attack.

Mr Justice Donnell Deeny delivered his reserved judgment after the non-jury retrial at Belfast Crown Court.
