No new evidence has been produced to link veteran republican Marian Price to a charge connected to the murders of two British soldiers, a court heard yesterday.

A lawyer for the 57-year-old said she was first questioned 18 months ago about allegations of supplying a mobile phone.

Peter Corrigan also confirmed a legal bid would be made to have the case against her thrown out as an abuse of process.

Ms Price has been charged with providing property for the purposes of terrorism. The allegation is related to the murder of Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey in Antrim in March 2009.
