Stobie due on Finucane murder charges later today

A former UDA man and self-confessed RUC double agent is expected to face charges of murdering Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane in a court in the city this morning.

Fifty-year-old William Stobie, who was UDA quartermaster at the time of the killing in 1989, has already admitted supplying the gun that killed Mr Finucane, a public lawyer who had won several high-profile cases against the RUC.
