Soil on a boot belonging to republican Colin Duffy matched a sample in the getaway car used after the murder of two soldiers, a court has heard. Mr Duffy, 41, of Forest Glade, Lurgan, County Armagh, denies the murders of sappers Mark Quinsey, 23, and Patrick Azimkar, 21. They were shot dead at the gates of Massereene Army barracks in March. Mr Duffy was applying for bail at the High Court. The hearing was adjourned by Mr Justice Weatherup. This was done so prosecutors can confirm whether or not a case is to proceed against Mr Duffy, who is also accused of of five counts of attempted murders and possession of firearms with intent. A Crown barrister said on the night of the attack two masked gunmen fired more than 60 rounds at the victims before escaping in a waiting car. She told the court it was later found partially burnt out in Randalstown and forensic examinations were carried out on the tip of a glove retrieved from the front passenger side of the vehicle. She said: "The result from that is the chance of obtaining a matching profile of DNA other than that from this applicant (Mr Duffy) would be less than one in one billion." Mixed profiles from up to three people were also found on a seatbelt buckle. A forensic scientist concluded that one of them could have come from Duffy, according to the prosecution.
