The family of a teenager shot dead by two soldiers in Northern Ireland lost their latest legal bid today to have his killers thrown out of the British army.
Father-of-two Peter McBride was gunned down by Scots Guards as he ran away from a military checkpoint in the New Lodge district of north Belfast in September 1992.
Guardsmen Mark Wright and James Fisher served three years in jail for the 18-year-old Catholic's murder, but were allowed to rejoin the regiment and remain in the army.
Mr McBride's mother, Jean, lodged an application for judicial review at Belfast High Court against the UK's armed forces minister. But, in a 13-page ruling issued today, her application was refused.
