Murder of Mark Christie in Bangor - Second anniversary appeal.
22 Aug 2008
Detectives investigating the murder of Mark Christie in Bangor, County Down two years ago today (22 Aug 2006) have issued a renewed appeal for information.
36-year-old Mark Christie was killed at Owenroe Drive, in the Kilcooley estate around 11.30pm on Tuesday August 22 2006.
He was in a house at Millisle Gardens when he was confronted by a number of people who chased him into nearby Owenroe Drive where he was brutally attacked with a variety of weapons and died. The horrific nature of his murder shocked the community.
Over the past two years police have carried out 68 searches and have arrested 9 individuals. Unfortunately, no one as yet has been charged with Mr Christie's murder.
The officer in charge of the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Glenn Wright, said: "The people who killed Mark, murdered him for their own selfish reasons and not for the greater good of the people of the Kilcooley or the North Down area. No reason can justify this cold-blooded and vicious killing. I would ask anyone who knows anything about what happened in Owenroe Drive two years ago to come forward."
Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives on 0845 600 8000 or use the freephone Crimestoppers number 0800 555 111 where information can be passed anonymously.
