Funeral service for murder victim

Mr Conlon was found near Keady in south Armagh

The funeral of Martin Conlon, who was found shot in County Armagh on Monday, has taken place.

The service was held at Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh on Saturday.

Mr Conlon, 35, from Railway Street in the city, was found with gunshot wounds at Farnaloy Road close to the Madden estate outside Keady.

Two men used a stun gun to subdue Mr Conlon and take him from a friend's house at Green Park Crest on Monaghan Road outside Armagh, police said.

Three children under the age of 10 witnessed the abduction.

Mr Conlon was bundled into his own car and driven to the spot where he was killed.

Police have appealed for anyone with any information about the movements of the car, a silver Volkswagen Passat, to contact them.

It has been speculated that Mr Conlon was killed by dissident republicans with whom he was linked.

He was released recently from prison in the Republic of Ireland where he had served a four year sentence after being arrested at a Real IRA training camp.
