Self confessed murdered Fred McClenaghan dies in hospital
Fred McClenaghan, who was handed a 13-year sentence last year for the murder of Marion Millican, died in hospital on Sunday.
It is understood the 57-year-old died of natural causes.
In September 2017, McClenaghan pleaded guilty to the 51-year-old mother-of-four’s murder at a Portstewart laundrette where she worked in March 2011.
It is understood McClenaghan was transferred to hospital last week for treatment.
Mrs Millican had previously been in a relationship with McClenaghan.
At the murder trial, the court heard their relationship was characterised by violence.
Following the sentencing, the family said they were “satisfied” with the sentence, and were glad the case was over.
McClenaghan, from Broad Street, Magherafelt, made a U-turn admission to murder during his third trial.
