Michael McGibbon Murder: Man Released
A man arrested in connection with the murder of Michael McGibbon has been released.
Mr McGibbon, 33, died after he was shot a number of times in an alleyway in Butler Place, north Belfast, on Friday.
The 34-year-old male arrested in connection with the killing has been released unconditionally.
Detective Chief Inspector Alan Dickson is urging the community to come forward with information: "This was a callous crime that robbed a wife of her husband and four children of their father. We want to be able to find the people responsible and bring them to justice. The support of the community and that local information will be vital in doing so."
Ulster Unionist Leader, Mike Nesbitt, said: "Once again a family has been plunged into mourning following a despicable murder. There are people out there who know who murdered Michael McGibbon and society demands that they speak out. There are no excuses for holding back otherwise the murderers will be free to inflict more pain in the future.
"I offer my deepest sympathies to Mrs McGibbon, their children and the wider family circle."
