PSNI ‘close to catching’ killers of father of five

Police are “tantalisingly close” to catching the gang who murdered a father of five in Co Antrim exactly 12 months ago, according to a senior detective.

Brian McIlhagga, 42, was battered, shot in both legs and left to die by masked men who forced their way into a house in Riverview Park, Ballymoney, on January 5 2015.
