Lawlor, 36, was shot dead outside a house in the Ardoyne area of Belfast in April.

The two men accused of his murder also face a charge of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

The men, aged 37 and 45, will appear before a district judge in Belfast magistrates’ court on Friday.

Lawlor was shot in Etna Drive in the Ardoyne at about 11.50am on Saturday April 4.

He had previously been linked with the murder of teenager Keane Mulready-Woods in Co Louth in January.
