Doug Beattie has said he wouldn’t have posed for photographs with the ex-soldier facing charges related to the fatal shooting of a vulnerable young man in Co Tyrone in 1974.

DUP MP Carla Lockhart, and Tory MP and ex-Army captain Johnny Mercer, were pictured outside Belfast Crown Court with Dennis Hutchings as his trial began for the attempted murder of 27-year-old John Pat Cunningham who had “the mind of a child”.
