Lealista in tribunale per omicidio del 1997

Loyalist for court over 1997 murder

Mark HaddockNorth Belfast loyalist Mark Haddock will appear in court today charged with the murder of a man (39) in 1997.

The UVF leader will appear at Belfast Magistrates Court accused of killing John Harbinson, who was beaten to death in the Mount Vernon estate where Haddock’s notorious gang wielded power.

The 40-year-old was arrested by detectives from the police’s Historical Enquiries Team (HET) on Tuesday inside Maghaberry prison, where he is serving a 10-year term for attacking a nightclub doorman.

The one time informer for the Royal Ulster Constabulary’s Special Branch is also charged with the attempted murder of a 37-year-old man and grevious bodily harm against a 37-year-old man.

HET detectives are currently examining 10 murders linked to the UVF’s Mount Vernon gang by a Police Ombudsman’s report on alleged collusion between loyalists in north Belfast and security forces.

The HET has now arrested 16 men in connection with the killings. Eleven have been charged and four are subject to reports by prosecutors.
