Stephen McKee has entered a plea of guilty to the murder of Harry Holland and to other offences of violence and possession of weapons. The other two accused in the case have also entered pleas of guilty to offences which properly reflect their involvement.
The PPS was greatly assisted in the prosecution of this case by the excellent investigative work of police and the vital support and co-operation of the local community in providing crucial evidence. This clearly demonstrates the value of effective engagement by the community with the criminal justice system.
The PPS recognises that this has been a difficult time for all involved – in particular for Mrs Holland and her family - and hopes that the conviction of Stephen McKee for murder will help bring a degree of closure for them.
