“I don’t want to speculate at this stage because only the I.N.L.A. know why Jim was targeted," said Detective Superintendent, Jason Murphy in March.

"Jim had a profile. He was clearly in and around west Belfast on a very regular basis, so the reasons for him being targeted are still under investigation."
