A total of six men were arrested in connection with the killing, two have been released without charge, and a sixth was released on police bail.
Ronald Mackie, 36, and from Kippen, in Stirlingshire in Scotland was attacked by a crowd of men sometime between 1.45am and 2.15am on Saturday, after a row broke out at an event inside the Tobermore United Football Club.
After being beaten, the gang left Mr Mackie in the path of an oncoming vehicle.
The victim was visiting family in Northern Ireland, and had been watching an Orange Parade in Maghera, before going into the Tobermore United Football Club, prior to his murder.
