Police investigating the murder of a 29-year-old man in County Armagh nine years ago have made a new appeal for help to find his killer.

Father-of-one Adrian Lamph, a council worker, was shot dead by loyalists as he worked in Fair Green, Portadown, on 21 April 1998.

One woman has been convicted of assisting offenders, but Mr Lamph's killer has not been caught.

Detective Inspector Michael Irwin said public assistance was vital.

"We want to hear from anyone who was in the Church Street, Fair Green, West Street, Jervis Street, Alexander Gardens vicintiy and saw any suspicious activity around the time of the murder which took place at 1540 BST.

"The gunman was described as wearing dark clothing, a baseball cap and a scarf, believed to be a football type scarf, which was red and blue. He was riding a mountain bike.

"We think this gunman changed clothing and handed over a gun to a male and female in Fox Street, shortly after the Mr Irwin said.

He also asked any cyclists who lived in the area, or used the area at the time of Mr Lamph's killing, to contact police.

"Anyone who may have lost or had a bicycle stolen and not yet reported it to police should also make contact," the detective said.

Police can be contacted on 0845 600 8000.
