Police have renewed their appeal for information in connection with the death of Philip Capper.

Mr Capper, aged 29, was killed after a tractor he was travelling in was involved in a collision in Drumbo.

He was originally from the Annaghmore area.

A PSNI spokesperson said: "A week ago today, a man who was a passenger in a green John Deere tragically lost his life as a result of this incident.  It is believed the tractor left the road shortly after 9.15 pm. 

"I am asking again that anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or anyone who was travelling on the Back Road and who observed the tractor prior to the collision contact local officers in Lisburn or the Collision Investigation Unit on 101 quoting reference 1474 06/07/18."
