British Army Killed Unarmed Civilians in 1972 Belfast - Inquest

A British inquest has ruled that army soldiers 'lost control' and used unreasonable force in killing five unarmed civilians in west Belfast on 9 July 1972. Mr Justice Scoffield found that four victims - including a Catholic priest and two teenagers - posed no risk when shot. The soldiers violated 'yellow card' rules governing lethal force. The verdict comes 54 years after the killings, which occurred six months after Bloody Sunday.

The camp precedes the team's first international of the summer - three ODIs against New Zealand starting 10 May - before T20s against New Zealand and India. The World Cup begins against Sri Lanka on 12 June.
