New witness comes forward to give evidence about shooting by British soldiers

A "crucial" new witness has come forward to give evidence about the shooting of a Belfast man by British soldiers almost 50 years ago, an inquest has been told.

The findings of an inquest into the death of Barney Watt, who was killed in disputed circumstance during public disorder in nationalist Ardoyne in Belfast in February 1971, had to be postponed after the new evidence emerged.
