OMICIDIO GEOFF KERR, CONTINUA LA RICERCA DI INDIZI
Il PSNI continua nella ricerca di indizi per riuscire quanto meno a stabilire il movente dell’omicidio di Geoff Kerr, consulente finanziario ed ex membro dell’Ulster Unionist Party.
L’esame autoptico verrà eseguito più tardi.
Resta in piedi l’ipotesi che l’assassino si sia presentato come un addetto alle consegne di un take-away cinese. La polizia sembra non stia prendendo in considerazione la pista dissidente repubblicana, ma che stia piuttosto cercando un plausibile collegamento di gruppi paramilitari lealisti (UDA??) all’omicidio.
Clues search after man murdered (BBC News Northern Ireland)
Forensic teams are continuing to search for clues about the murder of a financial adviser in County Antrim.
Father-of-four Geoff Kerr, 60, was shot dead at his home in Templepatrick just before 2200 BST on Monday.
A post mortem examination is due to take place later. Police are working to establish a motive.
They believe the gunmen may have posed as drivers for a Chinese take-away. Police have said they do not believe dissident republicans were involved.
However, it is understood detectives are still looking into a possible loyalist paramilitary connection to the killing.
The attack happened outside Mr Kerr’s home on Lylehill Road in the village, which is 10 miles north of Belfast.
He was married with four sons. His wife Sally and one of his sons were in the house when the shooting took place.
Mr Kerr, who only moved to Templepatrick about a year and a half ago, has been described by a relative as a “happy-go-lucky family man”.
