Photograph: Mark Marlowe/PA WireThe family of a man who was shot dead by the British army in 1974 have condemned the erection in an army barracks of a memorial to the former soldier Dennis Hutchings, who died while on trial for his attempted murder.

He denied charges of attempted murder and of attempted grievous bodily harm with intent in relation to the death of Mr Cunningham. Mr Agnew said he accepted the “right of all citizens to honour and commemorate their dead” but challenged the British Ministry of Defence to outline the basis on which it had allowed a memorial to a soldier accused of attempting to murder a vulnerable adult to be erected on its land.
