Bobby Moffett murder investigation appeal
16 Sep 2010
Detectives investigating the murder of Bobby Moffett on the Shankill Road on May 28 have issued a renewed appeal for information.
Their renewed appeal for assistance was made after a report issued by the Independent Monitoring Commission concluded that the murder was committed by members of the UVF and effectively sanctioned by its leadership.
The officer in charge of the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector John McVea, said: "A team of detectives continues to work on this investigation. We are still actively pursuing our inquiries and we are as determined as ever to bring those responsible for this brutal murder before the courts.
"We have made arrests but to date no one has been charged in relation to the murder. We continue to follow definite lines of inquiry but we need information which we can turn into evidence before we can bring charges. I am appealing again to the local community to tell us what they know, what they saw and what they have heard. If the community comes forward with tangible assistance, police will not be found wanting in pursuing those leads.
"Anyone with information should contact the Incident Room on 02890 561812 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111".
Further background information for guidance: Seven people have been arrested so far in the investigation. One individual was subsequently charged with terrorist-linked offences not related to the Moffett murder. Police are already on record as saying Mr Moffett's murder was a public execution linked to the Shankill UVF.
