As I walked of the 'red-eye' flight at Heathrow on the morning of 4th July 2001, 3 plain-clothes policemen were immediately in front of me. One took a call on his mobile phone and told his colleagues that there had been a murder in Antrim town.
I checked the BBC news on the internet when I got to my office that morning. A young man was shot dead as he waited for his pickup for work on the Greystone Road in Antrim.
I thought back and remembered a couple of unusual things I had seen in Parkgate village as I drove to work early that morning. I contacted the police and notified them. It took the police a week to come and interview me and only after prompting by someone else.
8 years on...
No one has ever been found by the police to account for that crime.
I have always thought that the police knew exactly what happened that 4th July morning but they have no proof.
