Two freed in newsman murder case

Martin O'Hagan was shot dead as he walked home with his wife

Two men, aged 28 and 31, arrested in connection with the murder of journalist Martin O'Hagan have been released by police.

A file is to be sent to the Public Prosecutions Service, a police spokesman said.

Mr O'Hagan, 51, was shot dead as he walked home from a pub in Lurgan, County Armagh, with his wife in 2001.

The Sunday World reporter had built a reputation for stories about paramilitaries and drug-dealing.

Two men appeared in court in Craigavon charged with his murder on Wednesday.
