Eight smoked cigarettes recovered from the detonation site contain DNA that matches the DNA profile of Mr McCauley, it is alleged
Martin John McCauley is accused of murdering RUC officers Sergeant Sean Quinn, and constables Paul Hamilton, and Allan McCloy, in a bomb attack at the Kinnego Embankment, near Lurgan in Co Armagh on October 27 1982. File photograph: Bryan O'BrienA 61-year-old man wanted by the Northern Irish authorities in connection with the killing of three police officers by an IRA bomb during the Troubles has appeared before the High Court.
It is alleged that the site the bomb was detonated from was a remote area, and it is claimed that there was no obvious reason for anybody to be there other than for some purpose linked to the bomb attack. Matters raised in the Court of Appeals decision were referred to the Chief Constable of the PSNI for investigation.
In 2019 a probe, called Operation Turma, into the 1982 killings was commenced by the PSNI which has ultimately resulted in charged being brought against Mr McCauley. The gardaí said that Mr McCauley confirmed his age and place of birth that he was the person whose surrender is sought. The detective said that when he asked Mr McCauley if he knew what the charges contained in the warrant were about, he replied “no”.
