Dying Army veteran facing 'final years of total hell' as trial over Troubles killing 45 years ago looms
Dennis
Hutchings is dying; his heart is failing and now his kidneys have
packed up. Since last week, he has been on kidney dialysis, travelling
an hour to hospital to spend the next five hours having his blood
cleaned, wired up to a machine that is keeping him alive. Just.
But with his health failing, Mr Hutchings, a 78-year-old Army veteran, is also facing trial for attempted murder over the death of a man shot during the Troubles 45 years ago.
Mr Hutchings, a former staff sergeant in the Life Guards Regiment, is now facing the prospect of a trial held in Northern Ireland, interrupted every two days for him to attend hospital to be hooked up to a dialysis machine.
