Call for new inquiry into IRA funeral murders

A LEADING politician has called for the government to reopen their investigation into the death of two soldiers murdered by the IRA.

On the 25th anniversary of the shooting, Ulster Unionist leader Tom Elliott said detectives must resume their inquiries into the deaths of corporals Derek Woods and David Howes.

The soldiers were in an unmarked car when they were inadvertently caught up in a republican funeral in west Belfast and killed.
