Seventh man arrested over Tobermore murder
Police investigating the murder of a Scotsman in County Londonderry at the weekend, have arrested a seventh man in connection with the death.
The 18-year-old man was arrested yesterday under the terms of dangerous driving, and a PSNI spokesperson has confirmed that police are conducting a related search.
Ronald Mackie, 36, and from Kippen, in Stirlingshire in Scotland was attacked by a crowd of men sometime between 1.45am and 2.15am on Saturday, after a row broke out at an event inside the Tobermore United Football Club.
After being beaten, the gang left Mr Mackie in the path of an oncoming vehicle.
The victim was visiting family in Northern Ireland, and had been watching an Orange Parade in Maghera, before going into the Tobermore United Football Club, prior to his murder.
Yesterday, a third man was charged in connection with the murder.
Paul Eric Cecil Johnston, 20, from Park View, Castledawson, County Londonderry, replied "not guilty" when the charge was put to him.
Earlier in the week, two other men appeared in court in connection with the killing.
John Richard Stewart, 41, and Thomas Rodney Colgan, 29, from King William III Crescent in Maghera, both denied the charge.
All three have been remanded in custody until August 22.
