53-year-old David Holden was found guilty of manslaughter last November.

The sentencing of a former British solider who was found guilty of the manslaughter of Aidan McAnespie, will now take place next week.

David Holden had been due to be sentenced today for the shooting on the Monaghan Road in Aughnacloy on February 21st, 1988.

53-year-old Holden was found guilty of manslaughter last November, after the judge found he gave a "deliberately false account" of events.
