A man charged with murdering two soldiers in 1972 is set to mount a legal bid to have the case halted, a Belfast court has heard.
Lawyers for John Downey, 68, plan to make an application for the prosecution to be stayed as an abuse of process.
He is being prosecuted for a car bomb attack which killed two Ulster Defence Regiment members Alfred Johnston and James Eames in Enniskillen in 1972.
The bid to halt the case centres on evidence featured in separate criminal proceedings over a 1982 bombing at London s Hyde Park.
