PSNI Renews Appeal for Information over Lyra McKee Murder
Crimestoppers is offering up to £20,000 for information that leads to arrests and convictions after three men were acquitted in the case.
- On Friday, the Police Service of Northern Ireland issued a renewed appeal for information into journalist Lyra McKee's 2019 murder, backed by a £20,000 reward from Crimestoppers for details leading to a conviction.
- McKee, 29, died on April 18, 2019, after being shot while observing a disturbance in the Creggan area of Londonderry; the New IRA claimed responsibility for the shooting that occurred near police Land Rovers.
- Earlier this year, three men faced a joint enterprise murder charge but were found not guilty following a trial; no one has ever been charged with firing the gun in the incident.
- Detective Chief Inspector Hazel Miller urged the public to come forward, stating "My thoughts remain, above all else, with Lyra's loving family and friends," while noting detectives worked tirelessly for more than seven years.
- McKee's sister, Nichola Corner, called for an end to Northern Ireland's "culture of silence" regarding the killing, while Crimestoppers guarantees 100% anonymity to anyone providing information that leads to an arrest.
