A man accused of murdering three police officers near Lurgan in 1982 has had his bail varied to allow him to go on holiday on July 12.
Martin McCauley (62) had his case mentioned at Craigavon Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
Three Royal Ulster Constabulary officers were murdered in an explosion at Kinnego Embankment near Lurgan in October 1982.
The officers were Sergeant Sean Quinn and Constables Allan McCloy and Paul Hamilton.
The IRA claimed responsibility for the attack. All three officers were in an unmarked police car and a bomb was detonated remotely by a command wire.
McCauley, who is originally from County Armagh, has an address listed as in Naas in County Kildare.
