The case against two soldiers charged with the involuntary homicide of Gunner Matthew Psaila in February 2009 has been put off to March for final submissions.

Gunner Psaila died following a military exercise in Chadwick Lakes.

Lieutenant Christian Vella, who was in charge of the training exercise, and Lance Bombardier Marvic Peregin, who was assisting Gunner Psaila's group, are charged with his involuntary homicide through negligence and committing a crime they were duty bound to prevent.

Lawyer Michael Tanti Dougal, who is appearing for Gunner Psaila’s family, expressed anger that Mr Peregin had failed to appear in court, for the fourth time.

Mr Peregin’s lawyer, Joe Giglio said he still had some documents he needed to present to the court.
