The unsolved murder of a man shot a decade ago is to be referred to the Historical Enquiries Team (HET), an inquest heard today.

Father-of-four, Kevin Conway (30), was shot in the head and found in a derelict farmhouse near Aghalee, Co Antrim in February 1998.

Mr Conway was last seen two days earlier at his home in Deeny Drive, Lurgan, looking after his four-month-old child.

Police believe that the IRA were responsible.

Coroner John Leckey told the inquest held in Belfast today, that the case would be referred to the HET.

He said forensic evidence which became available when the killing was first investigated is to undergo scientific review.
