Catholic dissidents John McConville , 40 , and John Paul Wootton , 20 , are found guilty . Catholic constable Stephen Carroll , 48 , was shot dead in 2009 . The killings led to ex-IRA commander Martin McGuinness describing dissidents as `` traitors to Ireland '' -- a comment that led to his life being threatened by groups that contain old comrades . The prosecution says this suggests the men were ` ` intimately involved '' in the killings .
