Eamonn Ferguson Murder: Appeal Over Blue Jacket
Detectives from PSNI Serious Crime Branch investigating the murder of Eamonn Ferguson in north Belfast on 15 March have issued a photo along with an appeal regarding a missing jacket.
35-year-old Mr Ferguson was found dead in a house at Ardoyne Place in the early hours of Saturday 15 March.
Two men, aged 26 and 31, appeared in court yesterday charged with the murder, but the police investigation is continuing.
The officer leading the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Justyn Galloway, said: "With the agreement of Eamonn’s family we are able to release a photo of him today. The manner of Eamonn’s death has been extremely difficult for them to bear.
"Detectives have been able to charge two men with murder, thanks in part to the assistance of the local community.
"I am asking today for the community’s help again. We are issuing a photo of a blue Berghaus-type jacket which is of interest to us. We believe it has been dumped in the Ardoyne or Oldpark areas last Friday night or early Saturday. If anyone comes across this jacket, I would ask them to contact police.
"In addition, I would ask people in the community if they can help us with any of the following questions:
• Were you in the area of Ardoyne Place at any time between 9pm on Friday 14 March and 4am on Saturday 15 March?
• Did you see or hear any activity in the area of Ardoyne Place between these times?
• Did you see Eamonn Ferguson during these times?
• Do you have any information which may assist the police in this investigation?”
Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives on 028 9025 9542.
The independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
A photo of Mr ferguson, and of the jacket, is available on the PSNI website.
