Murder of Adrian Lamph - 10th Anniversary Appeal
21 Apr 2008
The Police Service of Northern Ireland, and the family of Adrian Lamph, are making a special appeal on the ten year anniversary of his murder.
Adrian was shot on April 21 1998 at Fair Green in Portadown. He was taken to hospital but died a short time later. Through this appeal, Adrian’s family hope to jog someone’s memory about the day he died, which may bring vital information to police who are trying to track the gunman that killed him:
“Ten years on we feel it is time that justice was served and those responsible for this horrendous crime are put behind bars. Adrian’s father died recently. He was heartbroken by his son’s murder. His dying wish was that justice would be done.
“We wish to place on record our appreciation for all the hard work and effort made of police, and anyone that knows who murdered Adrian should contact the detectives investigating his murder.” said a family spokesperson.
One woman was charged with and convicted of assisting offenders, and is currently serving a jail sentence.
Detectives are keen to hear from anyone who was in the vicinity of Church Street, Fair Green, West Street, Jervis Street, Alexander Gardens and saw any suspicious activity around the time of the murder which took place at 3.40pm.
The gunman was described as wearing dark clothing, a baseball cap and a scarf, believed to be a football type scarf, which was red and blue. He was riding a mountain bike. Detectives think this gunman changed clothing and handed over a gun to a male and female in Fox Street, shortly after the killing.
Anyone with information should call 0845 600 8000 and ask to speak to detectives. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
