Police revisit Sandy Row murder scene

Detectives investigating the murder of Belfast man Michael Green have revisited the scene of his death.

The 42-year-old was shot dead as he arrived for work in the Sandy Row area of south Belfast on 15 August.

On Monday police set up checkpoints at Sandy Row and Abingdon Drive between 7am and 8.30pm on Monday.

Mr Green, from Ballysillan in north Belfast, was shot several times in the back as he got off his motorbike outside his place of work at around 8am on the day in question.

The emergency services arrived within minutes but he died at the scene.

Police say the ongoing feud between the UVF and LVF is one of their lines of inquiry.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact police on 028 9065 0222 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
