TWO Scottish soldiers who shot dead an unarmed teenager while on duty in Belfast have asked for leave to appeal to the House of Lords.
Yesterday, Scots Guards James Fisher and Mark Wright had returned to the Appeal Court in Belfast which upheld their murder convictions last December to hear their lawyers argue that the case should now go before the Law Lords in London.
Fisher (27), from Glendale Place, Belmont, Ayr, and Wright (22), from Glebe Road, Arbroath, Tayside, were sentenced to life imprisonment a year ago for murdering 18 year old Peter McBride in the New Lodge area of Belfast in September 1992.
The application was adjourned following legal arguments.
