Suspects charged with sectarian killings
Three women were arrested in England on Wednesday June 20 and were said to have been questioned about the killing of Lurgan solicitor Rosemary Nelson.
Nelson was killed when a bomb exploded under her car as she left her home in March 1999. She was targeted because of her work for her human rights work and her work on behalf of the residents of the Garvaghy Road.
The women, 24-year-old Raine Landry, her mother Muriel Gibson, aged 52, and a third woman were detained in Cornwall, England. The trio are all originally from Portadown.
Gibson has since been charged with killing 29-year-old father of one Adrian Lamph in Portadown in April 1998, while Raine Landry was charged with causing an explosion and an arson attack on a butcher's shop in September 1998.
The third woman is said to have been reported to the Director of Public Prosecutions for firearms offences.
Meanwhile, leading loyalist Jim Fulton was detained in Plymouth, Devon, last week and charged with killing Portadown woman Elizabeth O'Neill in June 1999. O'Neill died when a pipe bomb was thrown through the window of her home in Portadown's Corcrain Estate.
