Duffy found not guilty of killing British soldiers

A high-profile republican was cleared today of murdering two British soldiers outside an Army base in the North.

Colin Duffy was acquitted at Antrim Crown Court of the killings of Sappers Patrick Azimkar, 21, from London, and Mark Quinsey, 23, from Birmingham, who were ambushed by gunmen from the dissident republican Real IRA at the gates of Massereene barracks in Antrim on March 7 2009.
