Liam Christie died after he was shot at close range, say police

A 58-year-old man arrested on suspicion of the murder of Liam Christie in Antrim in October 2022 has been released on police bail.

The father-of-three, 44, was shot eight times at close range while he slept in his home in Craighill in the Ballycraigy estate.

Two men have previously been charged in connection with the murder which police described as a "brutal execution".

On Wednesday police said the investigation continued.

"I'm particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have captured dash cam footage from the Ballycraigy Estate or surrounding areas between 07:00 on Wednesday 19 October and 12:00 the following day, " said Det Ch Insp Rachel Wilson.

The 58-year-old has been released to allow for further police enquiries.
