Who killed Martin O’Hagan?

Martin O'Hagan was murdered on the evening of Friday 28 September 2001 in front of his wife near his home in Lurgan. The Sunday World journalist was Secretary of Belfast and District branch and had attended a branch meeting earlier that day.

Following the anniversary of Martin's murder, NUJ members are asking quesions. In summary: why has the investigation produced no results and received so little attention?
