Kevin Conway
Man due in court over 1998 murder blamed on 'IRA elements'
The 45-year-old was arrested in England yesterday by officers working with the PSNI’s Historical Enquiries Team.
A 45-YEAR-OLD MAN, arrested yesterday in England, has been charged tonight in connection with a murder carried out in the Co. Armagh village of Aghalee, near Lisburn, in 1998.
30-year-old Kevin Conway was dragged from his house as he looked after his four-month-old child and shot dead in a killing blamed at the time on ‘IRA elements’.
It happened in February 1998 — months after the second IRA ceasefire and only two months before the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
The case was referred to the PSNI Historical Enquiries Team in 2008.
The man charged this evening is due to appear before Craigavon Magistrates Court tomorrow morning.
