Family's appeal over man's murder

Mr Lamph was murdered in Fair Green, Portadown

The family of a 29-year-old man murdered in County Armagh 10 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.

A family spokesman said they hoped the appeal would help jog memories.

"Ten years on, we feel it is time that justice was served and those responsible for this horrendous crime are put behind bars," he said.

"Adrian's father died recently. He was heartbroken by his son's murder. His dying wish was that justice would be done.

"We wish to place on record our appreciation for all the hard work and effort made by police, and anyone that knows who murdered Adrian should contact the detectives investigating his murder."

Detectives are keen to hear from anyone who was in the Church Street, Fair Green, West Street, Jervis Street, Alexander Gardens vicinity and saw any suspicious activity about 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.

Police think this gunman changed clothing and handed over a gun to a man and woman in Fox Street.
