Soldier ‘responsible’ for death
The soldier driving the Army personnel carrier that killed Dermot McShane in July 1996 was responsible for his death, a police officer has said.
Dermot McShane, 36, a former INLA man, was run over during one of the worst weekends of rioting in Derry.
Police inspector Neil Graham said he ordered Private Daniel Moran to ram a metal skip which rioters were rolling towards police.
Instead, it rammed a wooden hoarding Mr McShane was sheltering behind.
Private Moran has refused to give evidence to the inquest.
The inquest, which began on Tuesday, continues at Bishop Street courthouse in Derry.
