The National Union of Journalists will tomorrow mark the 10th anniversary of the murder of a Sunday Worldjournalist.

Martin O'Hagan, who was secretary of NUJ's Belfast and district branch, was killed on the night of September 28th, 2001.

NUJ general secretary Michelle Stanistreet yesterday expressed grave disappointment at the fact that 10 years after O'Hagan's death no one had been convicted of the murder.

"For the family, friends and colleagues of Martin O'Hagan this anniversary is a grim reminder of the awful circumstances of his murder," she said.
