An inquest into the death of a Derry man killed by the British Army has been moved to Belfast, despite being originally scheduled to begin in Derry this week.
Seamus Bradley, was 19-years-old when he was shot dead by soldiers on the morning of Operation Motorman (31 July) in 1972.
His inquest was set to begin this Thursday, December 14th.
Judge Kinney decided at an Anonymity and Screening session this morning that the inquest will now take place on the week commencing 5th February 2018 in Laganside.
Operation Motorman was an attempt by the British Army to gain control of Catholic areas across Northern Ireland considered 'no-go zones' for the security forces.
The British Army have claimed that Mr Bradley, a member of the provisional IRA, was shot while while up a tree at Bishop's Field. They said he sustained additional injuries while falling.
Mr Bradley's family have alleged that he was shot while running from the area and sustained further injuries while in the custody of soldiers.
15-year-old Daniel Hegarty also died after being shot in the Creggan area of Derry during the operation.
