Sunday marks the second anniversary of the murder of Lyra McKee and PSNI Detective Superintendent Jason Murphy says the case remains open and "very active".
DS Murphy, said: “As we approach the second anniversary of the murder of Lyra McKee 29, on 18 April 2019, our thoughts are very much with her family and partner at this very sad time.
"Lyra’s family not only continue to mourn for her but also for her mother, who sadly passed away after Lyra’s murder.
"One man was charged with murder, hijacking, arson of a vehicle, riot and petrol bomb offences, and a second man was charged with hijacking, arson of a vehicle, riot and petrol bomb offences.
“A third man was charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and possession of a firearm in suspicious circumstances, charged with possessing the firearm that was used in Lyra’s murder, but has not been charged in connection with the events of 18 April 2019 directly.
“The investigation into the murder of Lyra still remains very active and I would like to thank the community for their incredible response throughout our investigation.
"I want to re-state the commitment of the police service to work with the community as we collectively seek to release communities from the influence of terrorists.”
