Massereene DNA evidence allowed

Controversial DNA evidence allegedly linking two men to the murder of two soldiers in the North is to be allowed, a judge ruled today.

The pioneering computer method is reliable and acceptable, Mr Justice Anthony Hart told Antrim Crown Court.

Colin Duffy and Brian Shivers deny the murder of Sappers Mark Quinsey, 23, and Patrick Azimkar, 21, who were shot outside the Massereene Army base in Antrim in March 2009.
