Massereene murders trial: ‘Getaway car had key evidence’ (BBC News Northern Ireland)
The trial of two men accused of murdering two soldiers in Antrim in March 2009 has been hearing more about the getaway car.
Colin Duffy and Brian Shivers deny murdering Sappers Patrick Azimkar, 21, from London and Mark Quinsey, 23, from Birmingham, at Massereene Army base.
The prosecution told the court the getaway car was found near Randalstown after the murders.
Although partially scorched, it contained vital evidence.
The car was first examined by Army bomb disposal experts.
One of them testified that a holdall with camouflage clothing, balaclavas and ammunition was discovered in the boot.
Two mobile phones were found in the central consul and a coffee jar containing ammunition in the glove compartment.
‘Lucky penny’
The court was told that the car had been bought in Ballymoney two weeks before the attack on Massereene barracks.
In a statement, the man who sold it said he asked the buyer, a man in his 20s, for £400 but then gave him back £20 as “a lucky penny”.
Earlier on Monday, a forensic scientist told the court a gunman had reloaded during the attack which lasted 37 seconds.
He then fired at Sapper Azimkar and a pizza delivery man as they lay injured.
The ballistics expert also said that bullets found in a coffee jar discovered in the getaway car had at one time been chambered in the two guns used.
The court heard a medic had battled for 16 minutes to try to save Sapper Azimkar.
Mr Duffy, 43, from Lurgan and Magherafelt man Mr Shivers, 46, also deny six charges of attempted murder and one of possession of guns and explosives.
The trial continues.

Massereene: I didn’t see crucial evidence in murders getaway car: officer (Belfast Telegraph)
A bomb squad officer who was first to examine the car used by gunmen who killed two soldiers in Northern Ireland said he did not see a latex glove tip said to be at the heart of the case.
English sappers Mark Quinsey (23) and Patrick Azimkar (21) were murdered in the attack claimed by dissident republicans opposed to the peace process.
The two Royal Engineers sappers were shot dead as they collected pizzas with comrades outside the gates of the Massereene Army barracks in Antrim town in March 2009.
High-profile republican Colin Duffy (43), from Forest Glade in Lurgan, Co Armagh, and Brian Shivers (46), from Sperrin Mews in Magherafelt, Co Londonderry, deny two charges of murder and the attempted murder of six others — three soldiers, two pizza delivery drivers and a security guard.
The trial, which yesterday entered its second week at Antrim Court, has already been told that DNA evidence, yet to be presented to the court, will allegedly link Duffy to a latex glove tip found in the getaway vehicle.
But under cross-examination by his defence barrister Barry Mc Donald QC, Warrant Officer Alan Ness said he did not see the glove fragment.
The defence referred the explosives expert to pictures he took while examining the vehicle to ensure it was safe for a full forensic search.
One photograph showed a clothing tag resting on a blue MoT disc holder in the footwell of the Vauxhall car found abandoned seven miles from the murder scene.
Other images subsequently recorded by other security force staff were shown to the court and in those the glove tip could be seen next to the disc holder, though the clothing tag had moved position.
Asked about whether he would have noticed the glove tip if |it had been in the car’s passenger footwell when he examined |it, the soldier replied: “I didn’t see it.”
The judge in the non-jury trial, Mr Justice Anthony Hart, examined the glove fragment, which was produced in court.
He questioned the claim that the portion of glove tip would be difficult to miss, as had been accepted by the soldier under cross-examination.
After exchanges between Mr McDonald and the judge, the witness was asked to repeat his |answer.
The soldier said the fragment could have moved, but said that when he looked in the footwell: “It certainly was not in my view.”

A bomb expert explained yesterday how a robot was used to open the getaway car’s doors and its boot, while an onboard camera relayed video images. He said a holdall was found in the boot, as well as “military pattern” clothing, balaclavas, some small arms ammunition and a tin of oil.
