What's up with that bomb that was found at Silverwood industrial estate in Lurgan?  Why would they try to bomb a ferry? Do they want to sink it or something? Thankfully the stupid gulpins put it on the wrong trailer and nobody was hurt in the end, but it could have gone off in the yard.

Man charged in connection with Lyra McKee murder

QuotePolice in Northern Ireland have charged a 52-year-old man in connection with the murder of journalist Lyra McKee.

The man, who was arrested yesterday, has also been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and professing to be a member of a proscribed organisation.

He will appear at Derry Magistrates Court tomorrow.

PSNI Detective Superintendent Jason Murphy said: "I have always said a number of individuals were involved with the gunman on the night Lyra was killed, and while today is significant for the investigation the quest for the evidence to bring the gunman to justice remains active and ongoing."

Ms McKee was shot dead in Derry as she observed rioting on 18 April last year.

I'm a bit sceptical about this one tbh, not everything adds up

agreed, it was never going to get on the boat, if they'd planned on getting it on the boat they could have put it a lot of places that were discreet, the way it was placed and where it was placed was always going to be spotted. seems like a publicity stunt to get their 'campaign' in the headlines

Same here. I'm so sceptical in fact, that I doubt there even was a device planted in the first place.

Securicrats perhaps?

Man in court for the murder of Lyra McKee - how likely are they to go for a murder conviction, i.e. how is it not manslaughter?

I don't get how he can be charged with murder? Surely there has to be intent and I doubt it was their intent to kill Lyra McKee. Maybe one of our legal professionals can explain it?

Part of a joint enterprise?
Argument then  by the defence QC could be that every rioter there was part of the joint enterprise.
It's going to be a toughie to prosecute.
Don't see it myself.

I'm no fan of saoradh but like the Craigavon PSNI murder in 2009 it looks like they'll use whatever weak evidence is at hand to push for a conviction.

Agreed the craigavon 2 case stinks to high heaven inevery respect.

dec

The articles say he has been charged "in connection" with the murder.

The charge might not be murder, it could be manslaughter or some other charge.

Was it their intent to kill someone? Does the victim matter? Whoever brought the gun, used it to shoot at people to kill them, I don't think they were shooting for the craic. Had they shot a family member you might have a different view on it
