Murder Investigation Launched After Paul McCauley Dies In L'Derry
Police have launched a murder investigation following the death of L'Derry man Paul McCauley.
Mr McCauley was left in a vegetative state after he was the innocent victim of an unprovoked sectarian attack on 16 July 2006.
He is believed to have died in hospital on Saturday.
One man was jailed for 12 years for his part in the assault at Chapel Road and, throughout the course of the investigation over the past almost nine years, detectives have arrested and questioned 25 other individuals.
Senior Investigating Officer DCI Michael Harvey said: "On behalf of the entire police family, I want to extend our deepest sympathies to the McCauley family following Paul's death.
"They have conducted themselves with great dignity over the past almost nine years since the vicious attack on Paul and his friends. The love and care they gave to Paul have been a beacon of light in a tragically dark set of circumstances.
"In memory of Paul, for the McCauley family and in the interests of justice, police stand ready to explore any opportunities provided either by a change in circumstances or a qualm of conscience. The investigation remains open and detectives are committed to bringing those responsible to justice."
