Two weeks ago the Times reported the Lamph family’s heartfelt plea on the 10-year anniversary of the council worker’s death “to the good people of Portadown” to help put his killer behind bars.

The 26-year-old died after a gunman cycled into the amenity site and shot him at close range in the head and back as he worked.
Police, who described the murder as “a purely sectarian” attack, later found an abandoned bike and burning clothes in an alleyway.
Adrian’s older brother claimed Gibson could hold the final piece of vital information which could lead to Adrian’s killer being convicted.
“Muriel Gibson is in a position to provide more information and to do the right thing,” he said. “What we want is for the police to redouble their efforts and try to get a conviction.
