Dublin man charged with murder of Robbie Lawlor

41-year-old Paul Drew has been charged with the murder of Robbie Lawlor after he was arrested in Liverpool and returned to Belfast this week.

Drew, with an address in Dublin, was previously jailed for heroin offences and is believed to be a close associate of the criminal known as Mr Big.

During a brief hearing, a court heard that there is a Garda file with the Director of Public Prosecution in the Republic of Ireland in relation to the investigation and that 12 people questioned have yet to be charged.

Jonathan Gill continues to fight his extradition to the North on the same murder charge.
