Two charged over teenager's murder
Two men have been charged with the murder of Peter McNally in County Armagh.
The men are due to appear at a court in Craigavon later on Thursday. Earlier, Mr McNally's funeral took place in Lurgan. The 19-year-old was shot dead on Monday as he slept in a house in Craigavon. Addressing mourners at St Peter's Church during the funeral mass, Father Kieran McPartland said "murder is murder and can never be justified".
Fr McPartland said he hoped those who carried out the shooting would be made accountable. Four people had been arrested in connection with the killing at Westacres, Drumgor. Two were released without charge on Thursday. Detectives believe Mr McNally, who had no fixed home, may have been the victim of a dispute between criminals. It is understood he was on the run from Hydebank Young Offenders' Centre in Belfast.
