Republican 'linked to soldiers' murders by DNA'

DNA evidence links prominent republican Colin Duffy to the murder of two soldiers by the Real IRA outside an Army base in the North earlier this month, a court was told today.

Duffy was remanded in custody charged with the murders of Sappers Mark Quinsey, 23, of Birmingham, and Patrick Azimkar, 21, of London, who were shot dead at the gates of Massereene Barracks on Saturday, March 7 while they collected pizzas from delivery men.
