Previously unseen footage of a woman shouting “there’s a kid shot in the head” was played at Lyra McKee’s murder trial.
The mobile phone footage, which was emailed to the PSNI in the aftermath of her death in April 2019, was played at Belfast Crown Court.
The 29-year old journalist and author lost her life after being struck in the head by a bullet as she stood on Fanad Drive in Creggan observed rioting on April 18 2019.
Footage has already been played at the non-jury trial which captured a gunman standing at the junction of Fanad Drive and Central Drive firing four shots at police Land Rovers.
For the first time on Monday, Judge Patricia Smyth was shown footage which showed a woman running down Fanad Drive in the direct aftermath of the fatal shot being fired.
In the short clip, the local woman can be seen running towards a crown at Central Drive. She can also be heard shouting “there’s a f*****g kid shot in the head up there”.
Three Derry men have been charged with Lyra's murder, possessing a firearm and ammunition and other linked offences including rioting and both possessing and throwing petrol bombs.
The trio are Paul McIntyre (56) from Kells Walk, 23-year old Jordan Devine from Bishop Street and Peter Cavanagh (35) from Mary Street.
It’s the Crown’s case that whilst none of these three defendants were the gunman who fired the fatal shot that killed Ms McKee, their actions at the scene “are demonstrative of their involvement in the joint enterprise to possess and fire the weapon with the requisite intent for murder”.
Seven co-accused, also from Derry, are facing charges including rioting and throwing petrol bombs.
All ten defendants have denied the charges levelled against them.
At hearing.
