- A former British soldier has been found guilty of the manslaughter of a Catholic man shot dead in Northern Ireland in 1988 during the Troubles.
David Holden becomes the first veteran to be convicted of a historical offence since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, which ended decades of conflict.
Aidan McAnespie was killed in Aughnacloy, County Tyrone, 34 years ago after walking through a border security checkpoint.

Murdered an innocent man at the end of the day
Murderer ! “To say it was an accident was the greatest crime of all”
Or even a ricochet Soar Alba and Erin go Bragh 🏴🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
What the F happend about Gerry Adams eh he is still fkin walking free NUFF FKIN SAID eh
Have a Gerry Christmas
@@anglebars6084 while in Ukraine I fkin doubt it but I will try
Yeah he has tea with Michael stone and the Shankill butchers every Monday morning in maiseys coffee on the Lisburn Road
Justice finally served only taken 34years the systems a bloody joke!!!!
Manslaughter my arse. Murdered that poor lad. Justice wasn’t done, and is never done when the British army are accused
The soldier casually committed an extra-judicial assassination--shot a young Irish man dead in the street for no apparent reason--& then claimed his finger slipped, it was an accident. slipped.
The Veteran's Association rep calls this trial & conviction 'a witchhunt'.
Where I'm from, we don't call this a witchhunt. We call it justice at last, for a family that shouldn't have had to wait 30+ years to see their son's murderer held accountable for his crime.
May the McAnespie family find peace.
Doesn’t matter what he did. He has done more for our country than illegal immigrants.
Why cover your face love? Shame 😳?
Those guys with the Union Jack's are the UDA
I wonder if the UDA ever got an invite to Buckingham palace for being loyal subjects to the crown lol.
What a joke.
Rip my ❤are with them
Justice. Let's hope other service personnel who murdered innocent people in Ulster are brought to justice too.
Justice for the 21
Sad
Rip 💚🍀
At least timedosnt buy immunity
Disgraceful.
The British never remember but the Irish never forget.☘️🇮🇪RIP Aidan
Oh we remember don't worry .
This is a disgrace! Events that 34 years ago when the soldier had only just turned 18. This is not justice.
Shouldn't have been on the Irish's land
@@dickfalcon420
BRITISH land! 🇬🇧🖕🏻
If that’s your argument the Irish should get out of England 🏴, and stay out!
There's still SS-Soldiers getting convicted these days for the same thing when they just turned 18 as well and they are in their late 90s and it was 80 years ago
Your fking right it's a disgrace, this kant murdered an innocent man and got what ? A £368 fine ? Crime is crime is crime
@@clintwestwood792
“Innocent” IRA member!
A never ending cycle....now for the big payout which is what it's really all about...how many 0's can be added to the cheque
that sums up the mentality of these people, only interested in money
What price has justice.
Even the Judge said he told a cock n bull story giving evidence.
Do not forget, in the 2nd Bloody Sunday enquirey soldiers were ordered to lie and were schooled in what evidence.
That was admitted in the enquiry, the soldies with the benefit of mature years k ew that they were set up.
millions i hope, the British need to pay for there ongoing crimes.
@@melvinpenman1102 Britain would be bankrupt if they had to pay out all their war crimes.
Maybe the poppy appeal can pay for it.
A bit of empathy required. It isn’t a never ending cycle. It’s a dragged out timeline due to a backlog of unresolved cases. Many people are affected and all bereaved families should be listened to.
Justice matters!!!!
What about justice for the victims of the IRA?
Justice for all!
@@chrischris8550 Agreed my friend.
@Fenian Rising See my response to Chris Chris, justice for all is important, my point is that it's a mistake to whitewash the IRA and make them appear whiter than snow because they're most definitely not. So yes, technically whataboutism is a logical fallacy but let's not forget it wasn't just the British army doing evil stuff the IRA was just as bad.
KAT
As the man said, the argument that time will make sure all guilty parties free. Don’t set the president! Especially after what governments did during Covid, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Libya, Yemen, Palestine. Time brings righteousness to the fold. Don’t let them take it away!
But yet the Birmingham pub bombers faced no court " Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pence Brother
@seanolaocha940 Well said Sean Soar Alba and Erin go Bragh TAL 🏴🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
@seanolaocha940 Well Irish people knew who they were, we know who they are,why didn't they put them forward for arrest, for cold-blooded, cowardly murder? Or does unjust cowardly murder only work one way?
Good to see this man convicted for his actions, taking someone else’s life for no reason is a serious crime regardless of what uniform the perpetrator wore.
Bollocks
@@scottjoseph9821 he murdered an innocent young man on his way to a football game and escaped justice for over 30 years , hopefully the murderer spends the rest of his life locked up where he should have been for killing young Aidan.
Fighting for 30 years is creazy, talk about total family absorption for decades. What's the point?
From a close family or we?
Justice is the point , nothing else matters
Disgusting that the British government have done this to one of their own but won't go after the ira.
Justice for both sides
Equality for both sides
Thousands upon thousands of the IRA went to prison but where released along with the loyalist to bring peace to the region.
The British forces where never part of that deal because then they would have to admit they done some terrible things in Ireland.
The British ran the biggest and most brutal empire of all time but they make out as if they never done a thing wrong.
There should be a truth and reconciliation amnesty.
It will never happen because the British don’t want to be embarrassed and ashamed with the truth
What the IRA done at times was terrible but don’t pretend that the British done have blood on there hands from all across the world.
"equal for both sides" do we get to starve a million of ye to death and/or half your population?
Are we to hold the British government and military to the same standard as a terrorist organisation?
There is guilt on both sides of a conflict. At least the Army did not trigger car bombs resulting in the deaths of many innocents. No opponents are totally blameless.
No they just sit in comfortable offices deciding on the fates of individuals thousands of miles away.....what a childish statement..
No they just facilitated for other loyalist paramilitaries to do it for them😂
@@pdalaigh 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
@@MLMACCANA 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
I am merely saying that in a conflict of any type, that certain actions will always result in the disagreement of other participants. Throughout world history more conflicts and deaths are the result of disagreements, usually over religious beliefs. I believe that that no one side can claim to be guiltless. (Perhaps l should not have mentioned car bombs).
And all this comes many years after all actions against Irish Killers was suspended.
This, I assume, would be called "SELECTIVE JUSTICE." Where it applies to one side and not the other.
Virtually no British soldiers who murdered hundreds of unarmed people during the troubles and colluded with loyalist paramilitaries to murder many others served anytime in prison. Basically, they killed with impunity. So yes, there was absolutely selective justice. It was rigorously applied to Irish Republicans, applied less rigorously but still to a fair degree to Loyalist paramilitaries and was virtually non-existent for British occupying forces. That was British justice.
witch hunt my ar$e
No wonder he is wearing a mask murderer justice at last for the family
wow ! great channel 👍️👍️👍️💓
Love the tall lady wear the green coat
This season from Dunnes Stores.
🙏RIP
The brother looks like at us brown
And its 1 mins ago ;p
Dude just did what he was told. If the roles were reversed I'm pretty sure it would have been the same outcome. Gov is to blame. Not the man.
Vicariously liable.
He was told to murderer an unarmed individual by shooting aan in the back?
@@pdalaigh Irrelevant whether he was ordered to or not.
The fact is an innocent man was killed as a result of the soldiers actions. His excuse being his 'finger slipped'.
What great counsel.
Liam the government is definitely to blame, but the soldier is too. He pulled the trigger and most lads sent to the North didn't.
He pleaded guilty to committing a criminal offence.
Was he told to do that ?
P.S. Liam is an Irish name
Witch hunt, my a**. The creep would feel completely different if his loved one had been murdered. Justice does matter!!!
But does that mean we can now prosecute the historical members of the IRA
@@matthewevans3987 Once we get all the British personal forces, UVF members, UDA members, UFF members , RHC members along with ex RUC members well consider maybe investigating more into members of the IRA.
@@tc2664 ah cool so one rule for one and one for another seems fair 🤔
Doesn't that moch
Does that mean that sinn fien uvf uda or going to give up all the murders of innocent people in Northern lreland so we can all have justice
Send him to Afghanistan jail. They will give him fair trial
👏👏👍
Good
Second
Westminster Establishment should be ashamed themselves after pushing legislation for amanasty. Totally bollocks.
34 years to late. His hand slipped in the rain shot him 3 times with a,sniper rifle. It's the empire of lies uk and usa 🇺🇸 by the way
What was the weapon system he used?
@@michaelgriffiths5723 it would have been an SLR
It was a GPMG ( General purpose machine gun )
@@robertmclellan3658 How far away was Mr Mcanespie when he was shot in the back?.
british military checkpoint~ NO FORGIVENESS FOR WAR CRIMES. we saw it ~!
What about the IRA?
@@pocolol8424 Couldn't have said it better myself. Brought the misery upon themselves.
The Irish are still upset about that King Edward.
The Genocide
There’s more than a few dead totties who fought in the British uniform
Not really.
He did away with tje oath of alligence for the Irish
......I don't think we are the ones upset love😜
@@pdalaigh 🥱🥱🥱🥱
At this point they really *should* consider updating the terms here. To be more inclusive, and avoid insulting women and non-binary people, ‘manslaughter’ should become ‘genderneutralpersonslaughter’.
that's a good point although IRA terrorists aren't really humans
😂😂
@@stamfordmeetup By far the biggest terrorists were the colonial British in their 800 years of cultural genocide, endless oppression, plunder, exploitation, land theft and murder in Ireland and many other countries
Surprised it ain't iran and Qatar fault
I hope this is a joke😂
It’s a difficult line. On one hand the soldier did what he was told on the other the family deserves to know the truth. Not sure if the buck should stop with what would’ve been a young teen/adult soldier though... .
He didn’t do what he was told. That’s the whole point..
Told to shoot innocent civilians in the back !
Thanks for reminding us which way to vote in the upcoming border poll.
Who's the criminal here?. A young bloke sent to the province for the first time or some spineless Westminster bureaucratic who decided to place the military there to do the dirty work of the ruling class?
Less than 1% of the many thousands of British soldiers who served in Northern Ireland ever had to fire their weapons in the conflict and of those less than 40 killed innocent civilians , for the most part the British Army although unwelcome in most parts were disciplined although as we now know there were more than a few very bad apples, totally undisciplined and had murderous tendencies, those people gave the rest of the troops a very bad reputation and at times caused deaths in the army from IRA retaliation.
This particular soldier shot an unarmed young man walking along the road in broad daylight carrying his football boots as he went to a game . The young man had just passed through the army checkpoint so it was clear he didn’t present a threat , the soldier who murdered Aidan should have been locked up years ago for the murder he committed, anyone disagreeing with this better check their biases and bigotry .
“Did what he was told” says it all. The man murdered an innocent civilian, lies where told that Aiden was being “targeted” by crown forces. Absolute nonsense!
Feed him to the dogs
A bit severe.
He was a stooge.
An appeal will be due, plus the alleged victim was a person of interest why?
He was Catholic.
Because he wasn't a colonizer. He was a Catholic boy.
Because he was Irish
Justice 🇮🇪
🇬🇧
@@dannycarter3647 the butchers apron.... no.
As an Aidan, I approve of this conviction.
Witch hunt!
