-Witness [[Soldier 027 (Bloody Sunday)|Soldier 027]] gave the following account to the inquiry:
-::Soon after arriving in Belfast I received a beating at the hands of UNK 180. He was an
-individual who lived in a world that I cannot comprehend. He had all the positive
-attributes of a para. He was a very efficient soldier, and by reputation an excellent shot
-and a top recruit. However, he was totally lacking in the attributes usually associated
-with a normal human being. On a day off with a colleague, he took a sub-machine gun
-from the barracks and attempted to rob a Post Office in Belfast (it was not difficult to get
-weapons out of barracks if you wanted to). He was given 5 years and, during his trial, he
-threatened to kill the prosecuting officer. He was dishonorably discharged and later
-became a notorious mercenary.<ref>[http://report.bloody-sunday-inquiry.org/evidence/B/B1546.pdf Soldier 027 evidence], Bloody Sunday Inquiry.</ref>
