Massereene killer Shivers handed 25-year sentence
A terminally-ill man must serve a minimum of 25 years in jail for the murders of two soldiers shot dead by dissident republicans in the North, a judge ruled today.
Brian Shivers (aged 46) from Magherafelt, Co Derry, who was part of the Real IRA gang that murdered Sappers Patrick Azimkar (aged 21) and Mark Quinsey (aged 23) outside Massereene military barracks, is suffering from cystic fibrosis and has an estimated four to five years to live.
