McAlorum had many enemies

Kevin McAlorum (31), who was gunned down in his Audi car as he dropped his child of at Oakwood Intergrated Primary School in Derriaghy around 9am on Thursday 4 June, was a known drug dealer with links to loyalist drug dealers.

However, it has been suggested that the killing of McAlorum may have been carried out in revenge for the 1996 killing of INLA leader Gino Gallagher.

McAlorum, whose nine-year-old sister Barbara was killed during the 1996 internal INLA feud, was implicated in the Gallagher killing.

In a second incident during that feud, McAlorum was identified as the gunman who tried to kill two senior INLA members as they walked along the Falls Road in 1996.

Two weeks after his sister was shot dead, McAlorum and another man were stopped in a car on the outskirts of Lurgan and found with a Walther pistol and ammunition.

In July 1997, McAlorum was given a 16-year sentence but was released under the Good Friday Agreement's early release scheme in July 2000 after serving just three years.

The INLA expressed outrage and publicly stated that McAlorum was never a member of the INLA and should not have benefited from early release.
