Man ‘with info on postman murder’ was found dead

A man purporting to have information about the murder of a Catholic postman more than 10 years ago was found dead at the bottom of a Belfast cliff, a coroner’s court has heard.

Stephen McCullough’s body was discovered at the foot of Cavehill in 2002 —shortly after he was released from police custody.

The circumstances of his death were raised during a preliminary hearing touching the killing of Catholic postman Daniel McColgan in January of the same year.
