Man jailed for part in deaths of two British soldiers fights US deportation

A MAN who served nine years in jail for his part in the deaths of two British soldiers during a funeral for an IRA member is fighting deportation from the US.

Sean Kelly has been held in a California detention centre for a month while his lawyers argue his case.

Kelly was convicted in 1990 of aiding and abetting the murders of Corporals David Howes and Derek Wood, who were dragged from their car, taken to the GAA’s Casement Park in Belfast, beaten, then driven to waste ground and shot dead by members of the IRA.
