Police Appeal For Dash-Cam Footage Over Raymond Johnston Murder

Police investigating the murder of Raymond Johnston have made an appeal to drivers with dash cams to check their footage.

Mr Johnston, aged 28, was fatally shot in front of his partner and son at a house in the Glenbawn Avenue in the Poleglass area shortly before 8pm on Tuesday, 13 February.

The officer leading the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Geoff Boyce said: "We are still in the early stages of this investigation and although progress has been made, we still need more assistance from the community.

"We have set up an incident room and we are exploring a number of possible lines of enquiry. We are reviewing CCTV footage from the area, but we also need the continued help from local people.

"I would also ask any members of the public who have a dash cam fitted to their vehicle, and were travelling on Glenbawn Avenue, Glenbawn Square, Bryanswell Road, Bell Steele Road, Pantridge Road, Stewartstown Road or Colinwell Road between 7pm and 9pm on Tuesday, February 13 to contact detectives at Musgrave.

"You may have footage that could help us piece together what happened on Tuesday night and lead us to those behind this brutal act."
