Shivers ‘not capable of terror act’ (Belfast Telegraph)
The partner of one of the men accused of murdering two soldiers has told a court he was not capable of the “appalling” crime.
Lisa Leacock said she thought Brian Shivers was away at a farewell party for some Polish friends on the night of the killing.
The prosecution witness also recalled receiving a bullet in the post and abusive remarks made to her.
Shivers denies the murder of Sappers Mark Quinsey and Patrick Azimkar, who were shot outside their army base in Antrim. Colin Duffy is the co-accused.
Ms Leacock told Antrim Crown Court: “The Brian that I know is not capable of those terrible acts and I was shocked and surprised when he was arrested.”
She described her reaction to the shootings. “I was absolutely gobsmacked, disgusted, shocked and appalled,” she said. “His (feeling) was the same.”
Sappers Quinsey, 23, and Azimkar, 21, were shot dead by the Real IRA as they collected pizzas with comrades outside Massereene Army base in Antrim town in March 2009.
Duffy, 44, from Forest Glade in Lurgan, Co Armagh, and 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.
Ms Leacock was waiting for Shivers when he arrived home on the night of the attack. “I believed he was going to meet some friends who were returning home to say farewell,” she said.
She has been his partner for six years and is a Protestant. He is a Catholic, has a young child through a previous marriage and was unemployed because of a long-standing digestive disorder.
