POLICE NAME BARRY MCCRORY MURDER SUSPECT

Police have named a man they want to speak to in relation to the murder of Barry McCrory in Derry city centre yesterday morning.

Mr McCrory (35) was shot dead by a lone gunman in a flat on Shipquay Street. His partner, who was in the property at the time, escaped injury but was left highly traumatised.

Police have described the murder as a “brutal execution” and said they are keen to speak to Kieran McLaughlin (58). He is described as being 5’7″ tall, of medium build with blue eyes and grey hair and believed to be wearing dark clothing.

The public have been advised not to approach him but to telephone 0845 600 8000 immediately. The police have also asked Mr McLaughlin to contact them immediately.
