Man charged with fraud in journalist murder probe
PA MediaPolice investigating the murder of the journalist Martin O'Hagan have charged a man with fraud by false representation.
Mr O'Hagan, who was a journalist for the Sunday World newspaper, was shot dead by the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) in Lurgan, County Armagh, in 2001.
A 42-year-old man was arrested in Sheffield on Thursday morning with the assistance of Counter Terrorism Policing North East and South Yorkshire Police.
He is due to appear before Craigavon Magistrates' Court on Friday 2 May.
Following his arrest, the man was transported to Northern Ireland for questioning in the serious crime suite at Musgrave Police Station in Belfast.
A search of a property in Sheffield was also carried out as part of the operation.
Who was Martin O'Hagan?
Mr O'Hagan was 51 years old when he was killed as he walked home with his wife from a pub on 28 September 2001.
He was the first working journalist to be killed in Northern Ireland since the outbreak of the Troubles in 1969.
As a reporter for the Sunday World newspaper, he had built a reputation for stories which exposed paramilitaries and drug dealers operating in Northern Ireland.
No-one has ever been convicted for his murder. Charges brought against individuals in 2010 and 2011 were withdrawn.
