Bike found in murder hunt

Mr Cummings was shot at Greystone Roundabout in Antrim

The police in Northern Ireland have recovered a motorcycle which they believe may have been used in the loyalist murder of a Catholic teenager.

Ciaran Cummings, 19, was shot dead at the Greystone Roundabout as he waited for a lift to work last Wednesday morning.

The police have now said they have found a motorcycle at Carnearney Lane in the Tardree Forest area north of Antrim.

Police believe Ciaran Cummings was shot by loyalists

The found was made on Wednesday evening, exactly a week after the killing as the police re-visited the murder scene.

They stopped motorists and pedestrians at the Greystone roundabout to try to get further information about the shooting.

The police have previously said their main line of inquiry is that he was shot by loyalist paramilitaries.

A dissident loyalist group, the Red Hand Defenders, which has been used as a cover name by other loyalist groups including the UFF and LVF, has said it carried out the murder.
